Yoga
Why do yoga? "The primary benefits are flexibility and feeling stronger after a class" says Ingrid Lewison, who was diagnosed with MS in May 1993 and started doing yoga in 1994. "I'd been doing hydrotherapy for 15 months, had been to a workshop on integrating the mind, body and spirit, and had done massage therapy for several years. When I started yoga it seemed to just pull everything together." Lewison points out that MS has made it difficult to stand and balance her body. Practicing yoga has helped her feel more stable on her feet so that she doesn't have to think so much about balance when she moves about. "My body changed a lot, starting with massage, and all of the therapies seem to integrate and expand the benefits of all," Lewison concludes. "I always feel encouraged and relaxed after my yoga class and I recommend it to all of my friends who are in good health as well."
Bellevue Yoga Class meets Thursdays, 11am - 12 pm at the Highland Community Center on BelRed Rd., Bellevue.
