Class Description

No one should walk their Parkinson's journey alone.
Whether you're convinced you can't do yoga or you're an experienced guru (or anything in-between), if you're living with Parkinson's, yoga can help relieve symptoms. Join this live, online class with viewers from around the globe who are also living with Parkinsons, even the instructor. You're not alone.

Each 45-minute class focuses on areas particular to Parkinson's. Supports - chair, wall, cushion, block, blanket - aid balance and reduce the fear of falling. This clears the mind for opportunities to notice areas of strength. Classes include a mix of the following

• demonstration and step-by-step movements with variations (such as seated or standing)
• cues on how, what and where to notice yoga's effects
• relaxation techniques 
• tips to try
• ways to apply yoga to everyday activities

Since the class is live, on-the-spot strategies for "off" times, dyskinesia and dystonia weave through each class.
