Strength-tember

In 2025, we introduced Strength-tember!

In September 2025, NASS and Yoga for AS introduced Strength-tember – a way for people living with axial SpA to exercise safely whilst raising awareness and vital funds for all those who are affected by the condition.

Every September for the past few years, we have joined forces and run Stretch-tember, reaching hundreds of people across the globe and encouraging them to stretch, move more for their axial SpA and fundraise. This year, we shifted the focus onto building strength, not only to feel stronger physically, but to demonstrate the inner-strength of each person living with the condition.

Watch the video below to find out more about Strength-tember, how you can take part next year, what you will be receiving if you take part, and how you can help us raise funds to reduce the time to diagnosis and provide support to everyone affected by axial SpA:

Georgina has been taking classes with Yoga for AS for the past 4 years to help manage her symptoms. Here is she took part in Strength-tember this year:

Affected by axial SpA, it took years for Victoria to find a way to exercise in a comfortable and safe way for her condition. Many can relate to Victoria’s journey.
