"Yoga is valuable for people with MS. There is no stress to contribute to fatigue, because yoga is noncompetitive. Breath and movement are integrated, so overheating is not as much of a concern. I see people becoming empowered by yoga everyday. They experience a series of small successes, and this adds up. Many go on to join classes with people who do not have MS."
