Detailed Description: Fibromyalgia is a chronic and debilitating pain syndrome characterized by widespread and persistent pain also affecting sleep quality and cognitive function It is estimated to affect 36 of the population however since it is a condition that is often underdiagnosed the actual numbers may be higher It is also an incurable disease so treatment is based on symptom management through pharmacological therapy which is not always effective Due to the inadequacy of pharmacological therapy there is a need for complementary therapies and despite the limited number of studies conducted in this area some therapies based on meditative movement notably yoga are beginning to emerge with beneficial effects reported on pain management and quality of life in these patients Therefore this study aims to investigate the benefits and feasibility of this type of intervention at the Primary Health Care level
