Abstract

Over the past century, Yoga has become increasingly popular in the United States. Today's yoga goes beyond that of meditation; it encompasses multiple practices which include physical exercise, breath regulation and meditation. It is a practice that promotes the connection of the mind and body and promotes physical, emotional, and psychological health. This study will examine,in a therapeutic recreation setting, the effectiveness of yoga practices with individuals who have had a stroke. Functional outcomes that are explored include balance, mobility, depression and quality of life.
