“When optimism shines, anything is possible.
Even a cure for Parkinsons”

The Optimistic Yogi

Yoga for Parkinson's

and Movement Disorders

Being gentle with ourselves can only benefit us through life.

This holds true especially for those of us with chronic conditions. If yoga marks a way of life, then gentle yoga for arthritis, dystonia, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery would seem the most beneficial approach.

Yoga for movement disorders, however, requires more than tenderness. We challenge our challenges to movement. The focus, based on expertise in the field, is on building strength and flexibility specific to our physical needs. We also modify and adapt poses, recognizing our restrictions and finding our balance within.

Compassion and awareness, of our limitations as well as our limitlessness, marks the approach and benefits to yoga for parkinson's, dystonia, and movement disorders.
