Yoga

Question. I’ve had 2 yoga sessions; I find it boring and quite difficult to focus. I am into my sports, although can’t do the sports I did before. Maybe it’s the teacher, as I do find her quite strange. But she’s dealt with people with MS and did say I did well to not fall. Am I being impat...

Yoga classes/resources

Hi all! Before MS I dipped in and out of yoga and really enjoyed it, but cost of classes always made it difficult to commit to on an ongoing basis. I've suffered from back pain/stiffness for a number of years now (in hindsight possibly due to the MS?!) - painkillers aren't fixing it, private physio...
