Krishnamacharya, a classic Indian yoga teacher, used to say, \u201cIf you can breathe, you can do yoga.\u201d So basically, as long as one is alive and breathing, a yoga practice is possible. Of course, it depends on the style and intensity of yoga, but the fact is that anyone can practice some\u00a0type of yoga, as long as they can breathe.<\/p>\n
Carol Dickman, a professional yoga teacher who holds several certifications, and who has shared her expertise on the TODAY Show, CNN, Fox News, and in places like the NBC corporate headquarters, has developed a video series to address and teach yoga to those with physical limitations that would otherwise be seemingly viewed as too disabling to do yoga.<\/p>\n
Bed Top Yoga, Chair\/Seated Yoga, and Balance Basics and Beyond are three of Dickman\u2019s DVDs designed to bring relief to those with issues ranging from mild to severe. Recommended as resources for healthy living by Arthritis Today Magazine, Weight Watchers\u00a0Magazine, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Muscular Dystrophy Association, The National Amputee Coalition, The National Fibromyalgia Association,\u00a0Dr. Andrew Weil, and hospice workers, these DVDs are built to suit those needing extreme modifications and gentle care.<\/p>\n
