Adaptive Yoga

The benefits of yoga on cognition, stress, and healing in brain injury is well known.  However, patients with visual problems after brain injury often cause them to be hypersensitive to sound, motion, and light, making yoga studios inaccessible to patients with brain injury.

​

Brain injury adaptive yoga is a specialized form of yoga designed to support individuals recovering from brain injuries.  Performed via remote video (Zoom), you can practice guided yoga with Dr Sheard, from the comfort of your own home. It focuses on gentle movements, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques tailored to accommodate various physical and cognitive challenges common to patients with brain injury. This practice aims to enhance physical strength, improve balance, and promote mental well-being fostering a sense of empowerment and connection to the body. Through adaptive yoga, participants can find a space to heal and regain confidence in their abilities.
