Adaptive Yoga with Dale Guthrie | Holism Health
This week we have an episode that I am personally so excited to share! As an Occupational Therapist myself, I was so fascinated and excited about the incredible work that Dale Guthrie was doing with regards to Adaptive Yoga! In this episode, Dale and I discuss her work as an OT and Yoga Instructor, how she found Adaptive Yoga as well the true meaning behind "Making yoga Accessible"
If you are new to this style, Adaptive yoga (also known as wheelchair yoga, universal yoga or yoga for non-traditional students) is an approach that teaches universal principles inherent to yoga poses that are accessible to all students, regardless of their level of ability. However, for many people, gaining the many benefits of yoga may seem impossible.
Dale Guthrie, an Occupational Therapist (MSc: Neurosciences) passionate about neurological and spinal cord injury rehabilitation, aims to make yoga accessible to all people, despite (dis)ability, in South Africa (SA). In this way, she hopes to improve physical impairments, enhance functional ability, facilitate community participation and ultimately increase the quality of life of persons living with disability.
