Live Fitness Fridays - Gentle Yoga for Parkinson's
Join us for a soothing and supportive gentle yoga class designed specifically for individuals living with Parkinson's. This class focuses on gentle movements, mindful breathing techniques, and relaxation exercises to promote flexibility, improve balance, and reduce muscle stiffness commonly associated with Parkinson's disease. Through a series of accessible yoga poses and guided meditation, you'll learn to cultivate a sense of calmness, enhance body awareness, and foster a deeper connection between mind and body.
No prior yoga experience is necessary, and modifications will be provided to adapt to individual needs. Come nurture yourself in a safe environment tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of Parkinson's.
Please keep a chair and bottle of water nearby. Enjoy the session!
