We took the WXXI ‘Need to Know’ news team behind the scenes of an adaptive yoga course in Rochester, NY led by long-time Endless Highway partner, Michael Amy. Then, Rob Tortorella and Michael Amy joined Helene Biandudi for a round table talk on a December 2018 segment of ‘Need to Know.’
The Benefits of Yoga for every body
The spiritual practice of yoga is said to have immense health benefits. A reduction in fatigue, anxiety, and inflammation, plus an improved mood, are just a few of the many upsides. But when you see common yoga poses like downward-facing dog, tree pose, and half-moon, it would appear as though the healing benefits are only available for a certain percentage of our population….specifically those without mobility disabilities. But that is not the case in Rochester.
Watch this edition of Need to Know to hear about the impact of adaptive yoga on area residents.
