Since I am a yoga instructor who also has MS, I am interested in spreading the word about yoga for MS!  I have put together a list of resources…if you know of any others please type them in the box below so we can add them to the site!


http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/964

A good overall article explaining why yoga is beneficial for MS
http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Living-Well-With-MS/Health-Wellness/Exercise/Yoga This gives a good overview of the styles and lots of quick resources.
http://www.yogahealsus.com/YogaMS.html
I like this whole page. And then if you click on the top link, they have teachers trained in teaching students with MS.
http://www.msactivesource.com/ms-yoga.xml?utm_campaign=Branded&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=MYMS%20YOGA%20&utm_term=MYMS%20Yoga
This is from MS Active Source (it gives a breakdown of how yoga helps each symptom and a 3-level DVD set, online videos of poses too)
http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Multiple-Sclerosis-Loren-Fishman/dp/1932603174
This is a great book…it is the one I used to start my yoga practice!  
http://yogams.com
The author's website
http://getfitwhereyousit.com
A chair yoga website where you can locate teachers
http://www.yeeyoga.com/inspiring-educational-yoga-videos-rodney-yee
Wonderful yoga teacher. My best recommendation for restorative yoga (also known as Yin yoga)
http://journaltimes.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/gentle-yoga-an-alternative-for-ms-patients/article_211b1c38-9e64-11e3-8f3a-001a4bcf887a.html

This is a good article about using a chair for yoga

Thanks so much!
