Kripalu yoga teacher Tori Hellrung holds a class for individuals with visual impairments at

the Montreal Association for the Blind-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre. She states, “Yoga is not just about stretching your body. It’s about stretching your mind. It’s about stretching your perceptions or your understanding of what is possible.”

One student responds, “Since I joined the group session I thought ‘Maybe I’m not alone in this situation’. And the state of depression, which I used to have, was decreased.”
