Katie Chrystal – Personal Trainer

In January 2012, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a muscle condition that left me with pain and fatigue. The illness prevented me from having my usual balanced lifestyle of university work, exercise and social activities and forced me to quit everything I loved and take heavy fibromyalgia medication. I found the Time4Yoga studio and thought I would give it a go. I walked into my first Beginner’s class with my usual exhaustion and walked out feeling peaceful and optimistic. I am no longer on medication and practice yoga regularly. Even when I cannot get to class, I do some home practise with the postures I remember and know that help me. I not only recommend Yoga for those interested in starting a journey of inner mindfulness and flexibility. Katie, Bond University Student. Katie has made a full recovery and has just completed a swim from Perth to Rottnest Island. katie_chrystal is on Instagram
