Adaptive Yoga for Spinal Cord Injuries

ESTABLISH GOALS AND PURPOSE

Adaptive Yoga varies from person to person.

Have a candid conversation with your yoga instructor from the beginning on your goals.

Explain your areas of injuries and capacity so you don't cause more harm to your injury.

Meet frequently with your instructor based on your goals. I encourage my clients to meet weekly or twice a week for the first few weeks.
