2023 Yoga, Disability, and Transformation – Breathing and Disability

Breathing is not easy for everyone, but it is essential…obviously.  For many of us living with a wide array of disabilities, breathing cannot be relied upon as a default enlightenment tool.  In this session, we share stories of breathing, singing, and of laughter.  We also discuss the all-too-prevalent adaptive yoga assumption that the experience of disability can improve with a single breath   Our shared yoga practice emphasizes the grounded body sensations that underpin quality breathing.  In other words, we explore how to breathe with your whole body regardless of physical hindrances.
