Flexible body
Attention
Fearlessness

I became a certified yoga instructor 7 years after my diagnosis. I teach once a week on zoom to 7 people without PD and one with PD. I do have balance issues, and at time’s difficulty holding still. I am very flexible , but always have been. I am 14 years into this disease and still doing quite well. I did have DBS surgery January 2020. I am 67 years old. I believe the yoga makes a difference. And I only practice 2-3 times a week for 1 hour. I encourage you to try!
Same here, Jebbie12. I became a yoga instructor after my PD diagnosis. I love it! It makes a huge difference for me, and the wonderful people I teach; both with & w/o PD!
