The Colorado-Wyoming Chapter sponsors a network of fitness classes for people with MS.
Yoga can be beneficial to people with MS as long as they find the appropriate class, teacher or video. More and more MS experts note that yoga, with its emphasis on relaxation, breathing, stretching and deliberate movements, is a good choice of exercise.
Water provides opportunities for recreation, relaxation and exercise for people with MS at every level of ability.
