While you should always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program, I can say that many people who have limited mobility and have difficulty getting up from and down to the floor take Dahn Yoga classes, even those with arthritis. The people at the centers, both staff and members, are very helpful and the classes are designed so that you just do as much as you can. Some people with arthritis have testified that the exercises have improved their symptoms.

Here is an example from one person with multiple sclerosis who has trouble getting up from the floor. She wrote about her first Dahn Yoga class in her blog: http://msscars2stars.blogspot.com/.

To find out where Kimberly’s class meets, I would call one of the Dahn Yoga Centers or the Body + Brain Centers in Hawaii. Maybe Aiea is best:

Aiea (Body + Brain franchise center)
99-080 Kauhale St #C21. Aiea, HI 96701
Phone. 808-486-9642

Honolulu Dahn Yoga Center
401 Kamakee St. #317. Honolulu, HI 96814
Phone. 808-596-9642

Kaimuki (Body + Brain franchise center)
3569 Harding Ave, #B. Honolulu, HI 96816
Phone. 808-738-5522

Good luck!
