Yoga can be of benefit to some people with epilepsy. It is said to help people become balanced in mind and body and to aid relaxation.

There are different types of yoga available. Strong pranayama (breath practices) and trataka, (gazing at a meditation object) should be avoided by people with epilepsy, as they could trigger a seizure. More information about yoga is available from the British Wheel of Yoga (the governing body for yoga in Great Britain).
