Regular yoga brings a wealth of health benefits.

But if you feel your visual impairment is holding you back from trying it out, a new Cork yoga class could be the answer.

Fighting Blindness has just launched Insight Yoga, a new series of yoga classes specifically tailored for individuals living with blindness or visual impairment.

These classes are designed to enhance physical and mental well-being through the practice of yoga, fostering a supportive and inclusive community. It’s free to attend and 12 weekly classes will take place on Tuesdays at the Firkin Crane, John Redmond St, Shandon, Cork City.
