Tailored for parkinson’s

Drawing on my extensive training, I have designed a class that aims to reduce and slow down many of the symptoms’ people with Parkinson’s Disease experience.  It maintains co-ordination, improves cognitive response and motor control.  Exercising regularly is imperative as Parkinson’s affects movement patterns, fine movement control and balance. Therefore, whole body strength training including core strength and flexibility is necessary to enable someone to continue to function at a high level. 

My one-hour class includes:

·      Balance

·      Co-ordination

·      Strength

·      Gait/walking practice

·      Upper and Lower Body Strength

·      Endurance/ Stamina/ Cardio Work

·      Chair Yoga

·      Relaxation & Meditation

Although exercise is the main goal, the class offers the opportunity for the group to chat and discuss ideas and to give advice to one another.  It’s a positive environment, warm and social.
