Traumatic brain injury, or TBI can show up in many different ways and yoga professionals need to be familiar with them because we never know which students in our classes or sessions might be suffering. Sometimes even THEY don’t know they have it!
Our guest Amy Zellmer is here to share her expertise about what we can do to make our spaces accessible for those who are suffering from TBI and other chronic conditions.
