[Sportsandrec] compiling a list...

[Bill Kociaba]

Hi,
I am looking primarly for groups that are for blind and other disabeled 
people. Of course general groups that have a strong history of supporting 
blind atheletes would be of value as well.
For your info, I can't remember who produced it but I know there is a set of 
CDs for a yoga course totally focused on blind users.  I have found that if 
I want to participate in some kind of fitness class its a good idea to talk 
with the instructor in advance.  It might require getting a private lesson 
with the instructor to learn the moves but then you will be able to follow 
along with the class with much more confidence.  Also if the instructor is 
more awaire of your needs they may be more awaire of their verbal cues while 
teaching the class.
