Greetings from the National Federation of the Blind Sports and Recreation
Division! <br>
<br>
We know that each of you will be getting your steps in on the hill but
please do not forget about our other great health and wellness activities
taking place at the 2017 Washington Seminar. This year we are pleased to
offer 2 invigorating morning flow yoga classes as well as the opportunity
to take part in a survey regarding barriers to exercise, nutrition, and
access to medical services and equipment. This survey will be
instrumental with helping us develop program and policy around health and
wellness. We are also offering slots for focus groups. If you are
interested in participating in one of our focus groups please RSVP. If we
do not have at least 4 participants in a given session we will not
conduct that focus group session. You can reach out to Jessica at
615-497-0435 or email
<a href="mailto:jessica@wefitwellness.com">jessica@wefitwellness.com</a>
to sign up or for more information.<br>
<br>
Below you will find information about yoga class, our survey table, and
the focus groups. Also, dont forget to come by the NABS cafι and bid on
the sports and rec basket which includes a goalball, $50 dollars, and a
total fit pack!<br>

Best Wishes<br>

Invigorating Morning Flow Yoga<br>
House Room<br>
</b>Start your morning off right with the National Federation of the
Blind Sports and Recreation Division and WE Fit Wellness as we delve into
an invigorating morning flow yoga practice. Whether you are an avid Yogi
or someone who has just always wanted to check out a yoga class in a
stress-free, judgement-free, and blind-friendly environment, this is the
meet up for you. Our invigorating flow practice will set the mood for a
powerful week on the Hill. Mats will not be provided so please feel free
to bring your own yoga mat or towel from your room. We will conduct two
sessions so that there is plenty of space for everyone to participate.
You can RSVP to reserve your spot. Contact Jessica Beecham at

<b>Health and Wellness Survey Table<br>
</b>The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is partnering
with the Sports and Recreation Division and WE Fit Wellness to conduct
research regarding the barriers to exercise, nutrition, and access to
medical equipment and services faced by individuals who are blind and
low-vision. Amber Sherrard will be the principal investigator. She and
her research team will have a table set up in the lobby near the 21st
Amendment that will be attended from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday and
Tuesday and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday. Please stop by to
complete a short survey. This survey will take less than twenty minutes
