I had a friend who used wheelchair Yoga and thought it help her.
My wife and I tried it as well but I think we went to the wrong class because we certainly didn`t find it helped us.
There are quite a few versions of Yoga so you might have to try quite a few different version, some are more physical or mental strenuous than others. The teacher you choose I think also matters.
Maybe one of the best ways to find the right class and teacher for yourself could be by word of mouth e.g. from a friend or if you are a member of some sort of group where you can actually talk to some that goes to a Yoga class.
Below are some websites that I found that gives information on what Yoga might help you.
I will try and update the Links when I find new one that might be of interest to some one.

Vitamins A, C, and E
Vitamins A, C, and E are antioxidant vitamins, as is beta-carotene, a compound that is converted to vitamin A. Antioxidants are discussed at length in the above section. If people choose to take antioxidant vitamin supplements, relatively low daily doses may be most appropriate: vitamin A, 5,000 IU or less; vitamin C, 90 to 120mg or less; vitamin E, 100 IU or less.
High doses of these compounds may be associated with toxic effects. Consuming more than 10,000 IU of vitamin A daily may cause nausea, headache, blurred vision, and liver damage. This dose may produce birth defects in pregnant women. Daily doses of 2,500mg or more of vitamin C may produce bloating, diarrhea, and kidney stones. High doses of vitamin E (1,500IU or 1,000 mg daily) may cause bleeding problems, stomach upset and other problems.
There are other reasons to be cautious about antioxidant vitamins. Smokers should be aware that vitamin A and beta-carotene supplements have been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer and death in people who smoke. Since it may inhibit blood clotting, vitamin E should be avoided by people taking blood-thinning medications or undergoing surgery and by those who suffer from bleeding disorders. Those taking blood-thinning medications should also be aware that vitamin C has been shown to decrease the effectiveness of those drugs.
