[Sportsandrec] compiling a list...

Sun May 13 03:11:39 UTC 2012

HiRicky,
No I have not heard of this group and I'll gladly research and see if there 
is such a chapter in my area. I've already checked USABA and we do not have 
a USABA chapter in my state. Although I'm on the east coast, Tenessee is a 
bit far to travel so I cannot partake in your great organized events.
. But I'm so glad to know there are active usaba chapters like yours. I only 
wish there were more of them!
Is the Sports for all foundation for blind people or all disabilities, or 
what? Sounds like a good club. And interesting you mention this because I'd 
love to learn zumba and yoga, but zumba classes are real fast paced  and I'm 
sure I'd be lost without prior instruction to teach me the moves.  Same with 
yoga although since yoga is slower, I could see myself following a class 
much easier because by its nature yoga is pretty descriptive and slow paced. 
That is unless you do power yoga, but I'm talking general yoga.

Thanks for informing me about this and I'm sure it will help
Bill in his list of sports organizations.

Ashley

I don't know if you have heard of the Sports for All Foundation. They have
an excellent program that teaches yoga, zoomba, circuit training and much
more. I have happely copied Megan Graf and she can give you more about their
wonderful programs. I don't know where you are from or if their is a
foundation in your area, but Sports 4All in TN is offering training classes
to bring their Project Health classes to all agencies.

I hope this helps your group.
