Yoga For Huntington's
Here's a great article on the using Yoga to slow the progression of Huntington's Disease. Laura Jean, who helped found the Connecticut Chapter of HDSA and was instrumental in getting a Huntington's Disease program at the University of Connecticut, was diagnosed with HD in 1999. She took up Kundalini Yoga and in two short years she's gone from not being able to go grocery shopping to opening her own yoga business (appropriately called DNA Yoga and Meditation) and leads yoga classes six days a week. She's not 'cured' but she appears symptom-free to those who see her.
Definitely an article worth reading. Her comment on HD: “I feel like I have a handle on it now. I have HD, but it no longer has me.”
