The session will cover many of the challenges, sensory; communicative; social and experiential, that persons with disabilities face today, as well as the impact these challenges have on their quality of life and well-being. Flex.abilities offers a unique opportunity for many persons with disabilities to overcome such challenges through the practice of hatha yoga. Open to all, the session will aim to enlighten attendees as to the specific (and multiple) benefits of hatha yoga for persons living with disabilities, and the constructive impact it can have on their lives.
