Fibromyalgia exercise sized to the day you're actually having.
With fibromyalgia the problem was never exercise. It was the amount. Tell Vinys what makes your pain worse and how today feels, and in a few minutes you're following a gentle guided video session sized to today, even if today is small. First session free.
Built with physiotherapists and with Lee Albert, NMT
This is the session, not a class. One guide, one movement at a time, a gentler version always one tap away.
“I've had fibromyalgia for six years. This is the first thing I've actually stuck with for more than two weeks. It knows when I'm having a bad day.”

The good day is the one that costs you.
Sleep happened, but it didn't do its job, and the pain is loud before your feet touch the floor.
You caught up on everything you'd put off, and now the whole body is paying for it.
You've tried. The class, the video, the walk. Each one asked for the same amount whether you had it or not.
Fibromyalgia is not damage in the sore places. It's a pain system with the volume turned up, so ordinary effort registers as pain, and yesterday's push shows up as today's flare. Movement is the first thing the guidelines recommend, ahead of any tablet. What decides whether it helps or hurts is the amount, and the right amount changes with your sleep, your stress and what you did yesterday.
The YouTube routine you just tried
Same session for every one of its million viewers
- Same amount whether you slept or not
- You decide what to skip, mid-flare
- Someone else's pace, for the full length
- If it wipes you out, back to YouTube, search again
Your Vinys session
Starts from what your body has today
- Asks what makes your pain worse and how today feels before choosing a single movement
- Movements that don't fit your answers are left out before you start
- Put in the right order and amount for today, so a small day gets a small session
- Guided every movement, on video, at home, at a calm pace
- A rough morning gets a different session from a good one, and a gentler version is always one tap away
The difference is not more exercise. It's the right amount for today.
Tell us what today feels like. Then press play.

Not a preview. A complete session for today.
Real movements from the Vinys library, chosen from your answers. Four of the movements a fibromyalgia session can draw on:
From people who'd stopped hoping.
“I've had fibromyalgia for six years. This is the first thing I've actually stuck with for more than two weeks. It knows when I'm having a bad day.”
“Everything else asked for more than I had. Vinys is the only practice that asks what I have first, and builds from that.”
“On crash days I assumed movement was off the table. Vinys gives me something my body can actually do that day, even if it's just breathing on the floor.”
“I arrived exhausted and over-responsible. The practice never asks me to perform.”
“Perimenopause wrecked my energy and my sleep. Having a practice that adjusts to how I feel each day changed everything.”
Built with physiotherapists and with Lee Albert, NMT, neuromuscular therapist, creator of Integrated Positional Therapy, host of the PBS series Three Steps to Pain Free Living, and author of the best-selling Live Pain Free. Where yoga meets physiotherapy: the library is clinically authored and every session is graded, so it behaves like rehab, not like a class you have to keep up with. The research behind this
The four things people ask first.
What if exercise has made it worse before?
That's usually the amount, not the movement. Vinys asks what makes your pain worse and how today feels before choosing anything, then builds a session your body can accept today. On a bad day that can be as small as breathing on the floor, and you're never asked to push through.
I can't get down to the floor.
Tell us. Every movement has a chair or wall version, and your session is built only from positions you mark as fine. If lying down is where today happens, that works too.
Do I need yoga experience?
No. It's guided movement, not a class to keep up with. One guide, one movement at a time, at a calm pace.
What does it cost, and what happens after?
Your first session is free. Card only if you start a trial. Afterwards you see the price and decide. Nothing is charged unless you choose to continue.
Your next session should be sized to today.
Tell Vinys what makes your pain worse and how today feels. Your first guided session is built from those answers, sized to the day you're having, and you press play in a few minutes.
This is the session, not a class. One guide, one movement at a time, a gentler version always one tap away.
