More and more MS experts note that yoga, with its emphasis on relaxation, breathing, stretching and deliberate movements, is a good choice of exercise.
Getting the most out of yoga! If you can walk without assistance, try a regular class, but ask what will be expected and explain your condition. Yoga classes are often offered at YMCAs and YWCAs, health clubs, gyms, weight-loss studios, and, of course, in yoga studios. Most instructors are willing to learn about MS and will adapt poses with props such as pillows, or by using a chair, the wall or the floor to assist balance. If the instructor doesn't really listen or provide individualized attention, this is the wrong place.
