Disability Health: Yoga For Disabilities
Stretching is always helpful for the body. Yoga is a great way to calm your body, stretch your mucles. Even better, it’s accessible to people with disabilities.
Yoga Helps All Disabilities
The gentle stretching of yoga and its centered-breathing discipline can benefit people who may have arthritis, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, or osteoporosis as well as those who have had a stroke.
