Treatment for Lucy

Lucy is a yoga teacher based in Bingley, West Yorkshire. She has been teaching yoga for 10 years throughout the UK with thriving local and online classes and also offers mentoring to other yoga teachers. Lucy moved to teaching online at the beginning of the pandemic in February 2020.

 

In February 2021 she contracted Covid-19 and experienced a host of symptoms which have subsequently developed into Post Covid Syndrome (also known as long covid).

 

The symptoms include overwhelming fatigue, chest pain, breathlessness, nausea, headaches, muscle aches, tinnitus and brain fog, amongst others. Lucy has since had Covid a further two times in the last 12 months, and each new infection has left additional long Covid symptoms.

 

Alongside the loss of her teaching practice and connecting with her students, which has always been a source of great joy, the financial pressures of not teaching classes have been pretty devastating.

 

There are very few treatments for long Covid and Lucy is unable to tolerate many of the pain relief options due to unbearable side effects and organ damage incurred by Covid. One of the only options her doctors have suggested is acupuncture, but currently there’s no provision for this on the NHS.

 

 

 

We’re raising money to help Lucy fund this treatment as she’s currently struggling to meet her and her son’s basic needs, and has no funds to access private acupuncture.

 

If donating is a financial possibility for you, then please donate what you can, it will all be very much appreciated. Any remaining funds after her treatment will be for Lucy to spend on sustaining herself whilst she continues to be unable to teach.

 

If you attend one of the fundraising classes with Earthed Yoga and KellyAnn Yoga in March at The Movement Co in Keighley, the suggested donation is £10.*

 

Classes take place at 7pm on the following dates - click the link to book on:

 

*Although both teachers are providing their time free of charge, please note that a small proportion of your donation with cover the venue cost; independent venues have been hit hard by the pandemic.
