Book Reviews of Yoga and Multiple Sclerosis: A Journey to Health and Healing

Book Review: Yoga and Muultiple Sclerosis: A Journey to Health and Healing
Summary: 4 Stars

This book gives detailed illustrations and directions, but it is helpful to get a DVD of the exercises (available from the Northern & Southern California Chapters of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society at a reduced price if you purchase the book). I am unable to use most of these exercises detailed in the book as I do not have access to a certified yoga instructor (that also has certification to work with people with Multiple Sclerosis)to assist me in doing them. The book it better suited to individuals who live in larger population areas with an expert yoga instructor.
