Can you imagine doing your whole yoga class with your eyes shut, or covered up? This is the world of the blind yoga client!
It’s a hard thing for most to contemplate, but yoga can be an amazing therapeutic tool for all, regardless of one’s ability to see.
I lost most of the vision in my right eye after a stressful period in my life, when most of the optic nerve died off. It is still an unexplained loss.
