Yoga for Parkinson's

This class focuses on alignment, posture, balance, strength, and flexibility. Heather incorporates yoga breathing techniques that help with relaxation, anxiety, and also digestive/elimination issues that are common to PD. There are no prerequisites for this class, but it is helpful to be able to get up and down from the floor with moderate ease, although Heather and any support volunteers can help with this. This class is very practical (no woo-woo chanting) and taught in English (as opposed to Sanskrit.) A yoga mat is recommended but not required. Care partners are welcome. Namaste, everyone!
