Gentle Yoga for Parkinson's Patients

Description

This instructor-led video provides Parkinson's patients with a complete yoga workout that relies on stretching and strengthening to make the activities of daily living-sitting, standing, bending, twisting, reaching-easier and safer. Through a mix of seated and standing poses and exercises, the program stresses moving with intention while staying rooted in the "now." Also, deep cleansing breathing is emphasized via classic yogic techniques such as Victorious Breath, Lion's Breath, and Bellows Breath. "For our bodies we seek health and energy; for our minds, clarity and focus; and for our spirit, empowerment and inspiration." Namaste!
