Join AR for a universal design yoga clinic. Universal Design Yoga considers all body types, abilities, and levels of comfortability doing yoga. It is strongly encouraged that you bring your own yoga mat, though we will have some available to borrow. We will also have some yoga blocks, bolsters, and water available for attendees.

AR and Greater Buffalo Adaptive Sports are hosting a wheelchair/blind tennis clinic. Wheelchair tennis is an adaptive version of tennis where the players are in sports wheelchairs. The sports wheelchairs are provided by Greater Buffalo Adaptive Sports. Blind tennis uses a particular ball that makes noise to alert players to where the ball is. Blindfolds and tennis rackets will be provided.
