Himani Prajapati is a PhD candidate in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of British Columbia (UBC), focusing on the development of adaptive yoga interventions for people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). As a neuro-physical therapist at UBC Hospital, Himani integrates clinical practice with research, emphasizing the importance of inclusive, accessible yoga practices for individuals with SCI.
