HEALING AND CONNECTING WITH THE INNER SELF
Honouring the hidden power and resilience of women, especially those who are visually impaired, is this yoga session. “Women’s Day should be spent connecting with one’s inner naari shakti,” notes Nivedita Joshi, founder, Iyangar Yogakshema, adding, “Yoga is a medium that unites the cells of the soul and the skin with a higher state of cosmic energy. This is why we decided to come up with this session where visually impaired women can connect with their inner selves.”
