[Nfb-krafters-korner] chat idea and question

[Annette Carr]

There is a product called the Yoga Mat for the Blind.  The mat has tactile
markings on it that are used in the audio descriptions of the poses.  My
understanding is that once you use this system to learn the poses, you can
then participate in yoga clases even if the instructor is not good at
describing how to do the poses.  I've not used this product, but it is on my
wish list.  There is also a set of CD that have nothing to do with this mat,
but they are designed for those who are blind.  This too is on my wish list.

HTH,
Annette

Hi Joyce and all,

Well, there is a class at my fitness center called chair yoga. I have not
taken it, but understand that it involves doing various stretching exercises
and yoga poses all while sitting on a chair. In participating in exercise
classes I found that my ability to participate is most influenced by the
degree to which the instructor can use her words to describe to me what to
do. if anyone out there knows a few yoga poses that one can do from a chair,
you are welcome to come and share them during the chat. 

During the chat I plan to describe in detail how to do some stretching
exercises while sitting in your chair. Yes, you can even do them while I
describe them while keeping the phone to your ear. So see you Monday. I have
many exercises I can share, many I do in my classes at the fitness center,
so it might take more than one chat to cover them all. Oh yes, there are so
many parts of the body to stretch and keep flexible that it could be a
monthly chat. <smile>well, we will see how it goes.
  
Cathy F.
