Ep 25 - Finding Balance, Yoga , Vision Loss, and Inner Strength

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of Retinal Realities, the podcast that brings you stories of strength, insight, and perseverance from the world of vision loss.

Today, we pause to honour International Yoga Day, celebrated globally on June 21st — a day that highlights yoga’s power to unite body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, yoga transcends boundaries, offering inner peace and balance in a world full of noise.

In this special episode, we’re joined by an extraordinary guest: Claudette Medefindt, the Secretary of Retina South Africa and a seasoned yoga teacher who radiates calm, wisdom, and strength. Claudette’s journey is a beautiful blend of resilience and mindfulness — one that bridges her passion for yoga with her experience of living with vision loss.

Together, we’ll explore how yoga can be a healing force — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too — and learn a few simple practices you can begin using right away, wherever you are.

So, settle in, take a deep breath... and let’s dive into this powerful conversation with Claudette.

Namaste!
