People living with sight loss in and around Great Yarmouth are being offered the opportunity to stretch both their bodies and minds in special fortnightly vision impaired seated yoga sessions being offered by the county’s sight loss charity.
Vision Norfolk is hosting yoga therapist and teacher Georgina Huggins for the sessions on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 12.30pm to 1.30pm at the charity’s Great Yarmouth hub on Hall Quay in the town.
The sessions are designed to be accessible to all abilities and no previous experience is necessary.
Leading the yoga is Georgina Huggins of Soulful Yoga, who says that her passion is helping people reclaim their wellbeing and feel good in both body and mind through the power of rest and mindful movement’. She has teaching qualifications with the Yoga Alliance Professionals and the British Wheel of Yoga.
Vision Norfolk Great Yarmouth activities co-ordinator Catherine Bond said, “Yoga is an excellent way to help people living with sight loss to become healthier physically and also improve their emotional wellbeing, but some vision impaired people are put off attending mainstream yoga classes because they feel they will be left behind.
“Georgina has designed these classes specifically for vision impaired people, and she is both an excellent communicator and has a good understanding of the particular challenges of sight loss, and we are delighted to welcome her here for these special sessions.”
The twice-monthly sessions are free to attend. For more details, visit www.visionnorfolk.org.uk/yoga, or contact Catherine Bond on 01493 745973.
