Hi, my name is Amy, I'm new to the forum. Since I have the possibility to start a new discussion, I decided to give it a try and ask if anyone here has tried yoga, for MS or for any other ailments, or just for fun.

A friend of mine has become a real yoga-addict, she also does meditation, etc, and she insists on my coming to her class and giving it a try. I'm not good at sports, and I am not at all flexible, plus I don't know if I will be able to do yoga exercises with my MS - I have a lot of balance issues.

What are your thoughts on the subject? Should I give in?

Hi, I did yoga some years ago, not for long;, but I did enjoy it. Unfortunately, I have become too weak to do anything of the kind since

Hi Courtney,

Unfortunately, I have never tried yoga, so I don't have anything to go from. Will be looking at possibly trying some with YouTube in the next few weeks 😁
