CAMP JAKE: Yoga!

Campers learning the many benefits of yoga (photo credit: Brian Clark)

This week campers have been introduced to yoga, stretching and toning. Yoga can be beneficial for individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions through both the physical postures and breathwork. Each pose can be modified or adapted to meet the needs of the student. Yoga asanas can be performed while seated in a chair or wheelchair. It can improve flexibility, strength, balance, and stamina. In addition, many people who practice yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress, improves mental clarity, and even helps them sleep better. (Source: Disabled World)
