Yoga is an ancient practice that has profound structural, physiological, and even genetic effects on the body—including for those who have experienced traumatic brain injury.
In our upcoming online program, Dr. Shailla Vaidya will lead a workshop on how yoga aids in brain injury recovery by fostering neuroplasticity, supporting autonomic nervous system regulation, and helping those with brain injury feel like themselves again.
🌿 About the program: Neurological Conditions & Yoga spotlights the ways yoga offer benefits to people who have experienced stroke, have dementia, live with a spinal cord injury, and more. It starts on Friday, May 15! Payment plans (with a special community rate) are available!

I’ve been scanning some photos so jumped on the bandwagon.
Beginning the decade by graduating from the High School formerly known as Prince, on the Darkside in NS, to being inspired by @janegoodallinst to go to the Jungle (ok, the Ocean next to the Jungle), and it was Sea Turtles not Chimpanzees. Then ending the decade by graduating from Medical School @dalhousieu hoping I could make some kind of difference in this world.
So lucky to have seized the opportunity for travel - development projects Guyana in undergrad, and medical electives in Brazil and India in Med School. I learned so much about the world.
I am proud of this woman - she worked hard and played harder!

Much love to everyone who was on this journey with me ♥️♥️♥️
I hope it made some kind of difference, I certainly tried!
