The purpose of this study is to examine community-based yoga, led by a physiotherapist, for individuals affected by Huntington's disease (HD).
Qualitative case study methodology was used to examine the Hatha yoga led by a certified yoga instructor who was a neurologic physiotherapist. Data collection included participant observations, semi-structured interviews with the instructor, and structured participant surveys. Data were coded and thematically analyzed. Strategies for rigor included field engagement, triangulation, member checks, and reflexivity.
Five major themes emerged regarding the value and role of yoga for individuals affected by HD: [1] Emphasis on mindfulness, [2] Yoga is modifiable and accessible, [3] Precise communication, [4] Yoga fosters a sense of community, and [5] Poses tailored to HD-specific deficits.
Yoga led by a physiotherapist can be tailored to enable participation by those affected by HD, addresses HD-specific deficits, and promotes a sense of community to supplement traditional physiotherapy.
