Overview
Connect the mind, body, and spirit, then grab a hot drink, and have a chat!
Adaptive Yoga LIVE is an award-winning service - founded by two disabled women who experienced the tremendous health benefits of adaptive yoga.
These are difficult times for disabled people and we believe yoga can help unite us, in a shared experience, to reduce stress and improve wellbeing.
Traditional yoga poses are adapted (using chairs and props) so that they can be experienced by everyone - regardless of their level of ability.
The emphasis is on the experience within the pose.
“We don’t use our body to get into a pose, we use the pose to get into our body”
Yoga is unlike any other exercise as it produces a change in calm, and relaxation, that takes place on a neurobiological level. It shifts you, biochemically, from a state of excitement and tension to a state of calm, deep rest, and relaxation.
Only deep breathing that accompanies mind-body practices like yoga can do this.
We'll warm up the body with gentle movement, breathing exercises, and a few minutes of meditation.
Remember, this is a judgment-free zone! Yoga is about listening to your body, not challenging it , so do what YOU can do.
At the end we'll grab a hot drink and have a chat!
