Yoga and Tai Chi seem to be pretty popular in the MS ranks.

I have never tried Tai Chi, although it interesting to me. It appears to be very deliberate and slow-moving, an exercise in controlling the body. I can do the slow-moving part, but I'm not sure about the controlling part.
Thanks for the link.
