12 pm: Educational Adventures and Updates: Accessibility and Current Events for Children and Students with Blindness and Vision Impairment
The field of education for students who are blind and visually impaired is constantly changing! This session will focus on current issues impacting access to education, potential methods to improve instruction, and ideas for advocacy.
12 pm: Mindful Movement to Manage Stress
This yoga class co-ordinates small, gentle movements with the breath to promote a sense of well-being. The movements are selected to benefit guide dog handlers and white cane users, so we focus a lot on hips, back, shoulders, arms, and hands and other areas where we build up tension.
You will be encouraged to move within your current range of motion and energy level. The whole practice can be done while sitting in a chair. We will finish with a guided awareness relaxation. Everything will be described clearly, and you can ask questions. What you'll need for this class: a firm chair that won't slide around as you move; a folded blanket or a couple of folded bath towels, and a bed pillow or throe pillow. This class is taught by yoga teacher Robin Mandell.
