Happy Soulful Sundays: 💌 Yoga for Sight Loss and Self-Discovery
In a recent story shared by the BBC, 78-year-old Carolyn Wightman described her transformative experience with yoga after losing sight in one eye and navigating the impact of limited vision on her independence. Following a stroke, Carolyn found herself facing daily challenges, from giving up driving to relying on help for household tasks she once handled alone.
With encouragement from Sight Scotland, Carolyn discovered a chair yoga class tailored specifically for individuals with visual impairments. This 60-minute session—featuring meditation, breathing exercises, and even “eye yoga”—supports relaxation, flexibility, and inner peace.
"The chair yoga is very gentle but very powerful," Carolyn shares. "It’s helped my fitness level and overall wellbeing."
This story is a powerful reminder of how yoga can open new doors, offering not just physical relief but mental resilience, empowerment, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Accessible yoga, like Carolyn’s seated practice, extends the joy of movement and mindfulness to those of all abilities, reinforcing that yoga truly belongs to everyone. Read the full article here.
Wishing you a Sunday filled with inspiration, reflection, and kindness.
