I am looking for some instructional dvds for wheelchair yoga and dance. Preferably, the yoga would incorporate leg movements that could be manipulated manually, but I am not picky. Anyone know of any place I could buy these?

There are many good resources available - Google wheelchair yoga and wheelchair dance. Youtube also has helpful videos. You'll need to look around and see which ones apply to your particular needs, as - unlike in days past - there are now a number of specialized instructional approaches.Last edited by Bonnette; 21 Feb 2012, 3:14 PM.MS with cervical and thoracic cord lesions -
We are getting ready to start an adaptive yoga program at VIP NeuroRehabilitation Center starting in april. Really looking forward to it. What ASIA classification are you?Comment

Yeah, I think it would be, but I used to love it and my friends still do and it only makes me sad to watch them having all the fun. I thought if I could learn some killer moves, I could own it.Comment

I live in Denver and attend an adaptive yoga class. The teachers learned from Matthew Sandford http://matthewsanford.com/content/teaching-yoga and they do an excellent job. I know Matthew has a video you can purchase from Amazon but it is very elementary. Maybe you could start there....I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.Comment
