About this Talk

GOT ABI's ongoing Abilities Walks in South/Central NJ offer young adults with brain injury and their supporters a holistic path to recovery. These in-person, nature-based walks integrate gentle yoga practices – including asanas, pranayama, and mindfulness – to enhance neuroplasticity, autonomic nervous system regulation, and cognitive restoration. Drawing on current neuroscience, this project is deeply personal, aiming to foster social connection, independence, and well-being. We gather qualitative feedback on mood, connection, and confidence. This community program, not formal research, seeks to expand mindful movement components and partnerships to further support neurological health and recovery.
