[Sportsandrec] {Spam?} RE: Yoga

[Karen Shaw]

My husband does yoga all the time. No special mat needed. Just be super descriptive with the movements. He had a teacher who simply described each movement in detail. She might have to say, "okay, I'm going to move your foot to the correct position." But just being really descriptive with the movements will get a blind person through yoga.

So if you check what ever source you have for ordering and or downloading audio books for the  blind. You might find some good  material. Hope that helps.
