Each month, Dr. Rush invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and your Parkinson’s community through a guided mindfulness practice. Together, we’ll explore simple ways to ground the body, calm the mind, and cultivate compassion and clarity that you can carry into your week.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a returning participant, these sessions are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and accessible for everyone. Find a comfortable place to sit, settle in, and experience how mindfulness can bring steadiness and space, even in the midst of change.

A brief time for questions and reflections will follow each practice.

Mientras los investigadores trabajan para desarrollar mejores tratamientos para la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), comprender las diferencias biológicas que pueden influir en la enfermedad puede ayudar a descubrir nuevas posibilidades de atención. Los genes modificadores son un área de investigación que puede aportar pistas importantes sobre cómo se desarrolla la EP y cómo los tratamientos futuros podrían adaptarse a cada persona.

En esta sesión se explicará qué son los genes modificadores y qué están aprendiendo los investigadores sobre su papel en la enfermedad de Parkinson. Conozca cómo esta investigación puede ayudar a los científicos a identificar posibles objetivos para nuevos tratamientos y a comprender mejor el potencial de enfoques más personalizados para la atención del Parkinson.

Join us for a live fitness class, offered once a month. Each Friday, we share a PD-tailored video that features a different focus every week, from balance to coordination and more.

Punch Out PD will include dynamic, high-energy drills that train muscle power. Vigorous exercise can help improve motor function and brain health. This class will incorporate intervals of high intensity power movements such as squats & punches, along with functional strength exercises that support activities of daily living. The goal of this class is to help support confidence, independence and optimal brain aging. Both seated and standing exercises will be included. 

Fitness instruction for this program was recorded in advance.
