“By providing an overview of key yoga postures and basic breathing techniques, this book demonstrates how people with Multiple Sclerosis can manage symptoms, and create a regular yoga practice in order to enhance physical and mental wellbeing.

Though it is impossible to address every possible scenario and degree of challenge with MS, in this book I hope to offer a starting point for others with MS, in order to keep mobile, hopefully slow progression of the condition and maintain reasonable functionality.

Intended for self-ambulatory people with MS who are able to self-transfer, either to the floor or a second chair, and willing to utilize yoga props or common household items for support.  Based on my experience living with MS since 1996, I include traditional yoga postures and also offer alternatives for those more physically challenged who may not have ready access to in person assistance or instruction.

The book includes photos to demonstrate the yoga poses, as well as adaptations, to accommodate varying degrees of physical challenge along with case studies and testimonials that depict the benefits and impact of a regular practice that can be carried out at home with minimal equipment or household objects. There is also advice on safety, diet and nutrition, and meditation practices.

Suitable for beginner and continuing level yoga students, Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis is a guide for those wishing to harness the therapeutic power of yoga, as well as for yoga teachers looking for ways to support their students” Garth McLean
