“Yoga is not one size fits all,” says Mindy Eisenberg, author of Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body. “Every body is unique and each individual’s practice is different. However those with movement challenges associated with MS or other neuromuscular conditions require a more creative approach to traditional postures.”

Eisenberg’s mother had progressive multiple sclerosis. After volunteering to teach yoga to an MS support group, she realized how the practice could help others with her mom’s condition. She started a nonprofit called Yoga Moves MS that offers classes in the Detroit area and has $5 videos as well as the book available on her organization’s website.

Like the best how-to yoga books, this one lies flat so the pages stay put. It shows and explains traditional poses, as well as how they can be adapted using chairs, walls or the mat on the floor. Visit yogamovesms.org to learn more.
