Adaptive Yoga Fall Series
WED, DEC 3 & 10, 5:30 - 6:45PM | Click here for more info. Email Mary-Jo to register.
Unlock the power of yoga adapted for every body, every ability!
In this 10-week series, peer health coach and yoga teacher Mary-Jo invites you to experience yoga as a complete path of empowerment—far beyond physical postures. Rooted in the Eight Limbs of Yoga taught by Patanjali, we’ll explore not only movement and breath, but also habits, values, meditation and self-awareness. Together we will learn how to calm the nervous system, cultivate resilience, and deepen our connection to body, mind and spirit. Through this practice, disability becomes not a limitation, but a gateway to greater awareness, strength and joy in daily living.

The Road Ahead Education Session: Tetra and Assistive Technology
TUE, DEC 9; 1 - 2PM | Click here for more info. Click here to join via Zoom.
Grow older and wiser with The Road Ahead (formerly Aging with SCI) Education Series! Aging with SCI isn’t about slowing down, it’s about steering forward.
Custom assistive technology is changing how people with disabilities tackle daily tasks. Join Tetra's Eric Molendyk for an inside look at how their volunteers work with clients to design and build assistive devices that are custom-made for the individual – these are devices that are either not available commercially or cost-prohibitive. As a non-profit organization, Tetra covers the full cost of each project (materials up to $500 and volunteer travel), thanks to ongoing fundraising that keeps the program accessible for everyone.
