• Write about adaptions in postures used for those unable to achieve the full posture, e.g. those with disability, illness, limited flexibility.
• Research dates and information about awareness days for various illnesses, e.g. MS, Cancer, Parkinson’s, Arthritis, Heart Disease etc.
• Write or source articles about yoga & its benefits for the above illnesses to be sent to various magazines and for our magazine to coincide with the awareness period(s).
• Advise health charities about the trust, the work we are doing and our therapeutic work.

• Précis the information from the above websites.
