I came across an article by Baxter, Bell http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/967 where he talks about the important points and adaptations to be kept in mind when applying yoga with stroke clients. I list few here and welcome any more that you can draw from your working with stroke clients.
1. Duplicate standing pose in lying down with feet against the wall (if standing not possible at the time).
2. Avoid head below waist as with forward bends.
3. Avoid extreme neck twisting as there may be possible carotid artery occlusion.
4. Holding breath would be unadvisable especially for those with hypertension.
Thank you
