Many September health observances and special events are represented in this month's features. The Director's Column and Book Review both discuss the Paralympics and the social influence that the Games can have even beyond the impact of its inspirational athletic performances. National Yoga Month is highlighted in this month's Community Voice, which features an accessible yoga training program that not only educates instructors on modifying yoga positions for people with disabilities, but is modified logistically to allow instructors with disabilities full participation. I challenge you to do the same! Step it Up this September and find out what basic modification(s) you can make in your program or facility to include more people. Need help?
