About two years ago, I started doing Yoga at my local gym. Initially I went to a Chair Yoga class, but I quickly outgrew that and was anxious to further my practice by trying out regular Yoga classes. I ended up falling in love with Hot Yoga and faithfully went to classes 3 times a week for 8 months or so. I would still be doing classes there except I go to a different gym now. =\
Back when I was still there my instructor/teacher suggested that I do YouTube videos to show how adaptable Yoga is for people that are disabled. Now obviously everyone's disability/ability level is different, but I found that there were a lot of things I didn't think I could do in Yoga that I realized I could do either right away or with a little bit of work/practice (which is common for many "normal" people anyway) and for those things that I could not do, she came up with some nifty adaptations that worked well for me. The most important thing, though, is not worrying about doing something the "right" way. You do whatever works for you.
There are about 8 or 9 more Yoga videos I have to upload over coming weeks/months. By the time I am doing uploading those, it will hopefully be warm enough to do the next batch of videos on the beach.
