It is not just for those that are extremely flexible or strong. As a Physical Therapist, I often recommend specific yoga activities to person's with illness, pain or disability. There is also a lot more to yoga than the physical aspect... it is a way of life, offering spiritual, mental, emotional and physical tools. Here in the Minneapolis area where I live there is a well known Iyengar yoga instructor who is paraplegic and is bringing yoga to persons with disability. You can learn more about his work at National Public Radio's program Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett here: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/bodysgrace/ Moving the body moves the mind (and moving your mind changes the body too, a two way street!) Yoga is a great way to get going... - Matt E.

When talking to groups I often say that whatever you want to change in your life, yoga will help you do it. Thank you for sharing your story. - Carol Dickman Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:30:24 +0100 http://belleruthnaparstek.com/inspiring-story/yoga-helps-man-with-multiple-sclerosis.html#comment-868 How wonderful! It must be really gratifying that he can do something to help himself! I would like to share that reflexology and acupuncture are also very beneficial for MS. You can learn to do some reflexology on yourself, through classes or books. - Wendy Decker Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:45:06 +0100
