| Description: | Select Guide Rating This resource will help yoga teachers, physical therapists, and individuals with disabilities create safe and effective yoga practices that accommodate conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, limb amputation, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.
