Anyone with a weakened immune system can benefit from doing restorative poses. The book called Relax and Renew by Judith Lasater will show examples of these types of poses. I believe that people with compromised immune systems should not over exert themselves. Seek out an experienced, certified Iyengar teacher for guidance.
