[Sportsandrec] to ashley good idea

[Carly Mihalakis]

Rania,

         From what I've found out, few blind people can afford yoga 
classes, as I have learned that you have to have extra money to even 
enter a yoga studio. My boyfriend, Robin and i have learned about the 
spiritual content of yoga, we can feel it when we are unable to 
practice, such as has been the case, due to the Holidays.
The LightHouse here in San Francisco gives scholarships so we can 
attend. Without that we would be financially unable to incorporate 
the benefits of yoga into our spiritual health.
Do you have vision?
Many yogis are intrigued by the way blindies practice yoga, and are 
willing to build a giving and taking with a blind student, in which 
they donate yoga lessons, in exchange for their own study of how we 
learn, and perceive bodily movements.  One needs some really great 
instructors to help you build the various postures from the ground 
up, all the way maintaining deep, methodic breathing, to help you 
stay very present.
If nothing else, you can practice breathing, and staying firmly in 
the moment on your own.
Good luck, Rania!
Carly

>>Hi Rania and Andrew,
>>Glad we agree.  Someone had to show me exercises too.
>>A personal trainer is a great idea but like I said in my last 
>>message many people cannot afford a personal trainer.  An 
>>accessible workout video would be a safe, effective and inexpensive 
>>way to learn and enjoy exercise.  I wonder if something like that 
>>is out there on CD.
