Summary

A Reddit user with chronic fatigue wrote that doing gentle or seated yoga at home from YouTube videos suited them better than classes, because a class was more likely to leave them overexerted and exhausted, while at home they could stop or modify as needed and get some movement without flaring. They also said Loop earplugs helped with sound sensitivity, dampening loud noises like sirens while they could still hear people talking.
