there is an iyengar teacher in rishikesh who is disabled - everyone in her classes raves about her! she cant demonstate the poses but she has awesome communications skills!! i have also seen pictures of yogis missing limbs using one of those big balls as a prop to do yoga.

thank you for the responses. afroyogi , i have seen plenty of sharks both surfing and diving and i havent been attacked yet but i lost my right leg due to a birth defect. i have been doing regular yoga but adding some modifications of course. it has worked really well for me and i am more flexible and my surfng has improved greatly. i was wondering about this subject because i was hoping there was more people witn disabilities that do yoga, because it can greatly improve their physical fitness.
