NESS Accessible Yoga Classes

The aim of our yoga classes is to enable our participants to experience improved emotional and physical wellbeing which, in turn, will enable them to cope on their own terms with the challenges they face due to their sight and/or hearing loss. Taking part in yoga will improve their mobility, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness, and increase spatial awareness and physical confidence. The yoga practice will also reduce stress, encourage mindfulness, and improve their emotional wellbeing.
