In particular, regular physical activity is recommended, but it must be adaptable to the patient\'s impairments. Teaching yoga may be an interesting option. Indeed, yoga is a mind-body practice which become increasingly widespread in the world. Recent studies highlight positive effect of yoga for this population. However, accessibility to yoga classes can be limited by many factors: lack of transportation, lack of available health professionals, confinement requirements...
