Lupus is a lifelong disease that can affect many parts of your life. Our featured presenter, Jana Long, will address how to Live WELL with Lupus. Ms. Long is a yoga therapist, wellness educator, meditation facilitator, and cofounder and executive director of the Black Yoga Teachers Alliance.
Ms. Long became curious about the efficacy of yoga as a self-care tool when her mother and a sister were diagnosed with lupus. She discovered yoga to be an effective way to improve the overall health and wellbeing. Some of the benefits of yoga for people with lupus include:
- Reduced stress: Stress can exacerbate lupus symptoms, and yoga has been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
- Improved sleep: People with lupus often have difficulty sleeping due to pain and discomfort. Yoga can help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia.
- Improved cardiovascular health: Certain types of yoga, such as vinyasa or power yoga can provide a cardiovascular workout that can improve heart health.
We will also be joined by Victoria Gibbs, lupus warrior and health and wellness entrepreneur. This program is generously sponsored by G.S.K.. Patient Engagement Liaison Tatiana Saverino AOCNP, CRNP, MSN, MJ will join the conversation and speak about not only living with lupus but living WELL!
