Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's defensive immune system attacks and destroys the fatty tissue, called myelin, which surrounds the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. These myelin sheaths perform the same function as insulation around an electrical wire. Without the myelin insulation, nerve impulses from brain to body can short out and become confused, misdirected, or be completely blocked.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms can include numbness and/or tingling in the extremities, weakness, lack of coordination and/or balance, gait difficulties, slurring of speech, blurred or double vision, bowel and bladder dysfunction, vertigo, and heat intolerance.

Physical activity and MS exercise is extremely important for individuals with MS, and yoga is now recognized as an excellent means of reducing the symptoms of MS and helping with management of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, whether the individual manifests little or no outward signs of the disease, or whether they spend most of their time in a wheelchair.
