Yoga Class for Post-Stroke Patients

A study at Indiana University has incorporated the use of yoga into rehabilitation for post-stroke patients.  The initial idea for this study was to improve patient's ability to cope s/p fall.

"... research into therapeutic uses for yoga is "really taking off," particularly in mental health fields. Clinically, she has been watching a small trend of occupational therapists and physical therapists also becoming yoga therapists".

We wonder how many therapists do use yoga as part of the rehab treatment plan?
