“I felt
like I became steadier and stronger in my core,” Meltzer said. Prior to yoga,
she described herself as a “wall walker,” someone who felt safer holding onto
the wall in order to get around. “To be able to stand on one leg and feel
balanced is amazing.”
Meltzer,
out of a wheelchair and walking without a cane, was one of 14 women with
moderate disability due to MS who participated in a pilot trial conducted by
the Rutgers School of Health Related Professions. A specially-designed yoga
program for these MS patients not only improved their physical and mental
well-being but also enhanced their overall quality of life.

Beginning in January I am teaching a Yoga Therapy class for people with MS. If you know anyone with MS please share this information with them.
