There are yoga programs on television. Some are geared to people with health problems.

I have a number of friends with COPD who take yoga classes. In most cases there are things they don't do in the class, and some things that they do a modified version of, but they usually talk with the instructor and together they come up with adaptations that work. I believe that there are also yoga videos designed for people who may not be able to do all the exercises; look around on Google and I suspect you'll find lots of adaptations for just about any condition.

I've tried a few different yoga classes and some are too much for me but I think I found one that isn't too much. It's a yin and relaxation yoga class. But I think I may need a bit more practice. I tried one class that was meant for 55+ but it was too much. I had a hard time breathing even with my oxygen and had to stop to catch my breathe much too often.
