Thank you for reminding me 🙏Yoga works on incremental improvement. Today I can hold a position for 2 seconds, after some days I will be able to achieve 3 / 4 / 5 seconds and beyond, so there is no minimum and no maximum to Yoga practice.

Thank you once again 🙏🙏🙏

I recently signed up for local yoga classes. 2x a week. I'm really enjoying it. I think it will be very helpful alongside boxing, strength training and fast walking.

Thank you for this. I am adding this to my weekly routine.

HWP (and I) have been doing it for 5-6 years now 2-3 times/week and his doctors are very pleased. Definitely an incremental practice and good on both a physical and mental level.

I go to yoga practice once weekly for an hour. After 4 weeks I don't see that it has helped but I enjoy it regardless.

[Farooqji in reply to kaypeeoh]

Keep continuing it. Its beneficial and have no harm

[JayPwP in reply to kaypeeoh]

The prescription is - positions 2 mins each on average.

Pranayam: per day

Bhrastrika Bellows Breath 5 to 10 mins

Kapalbhati Shining Skull Breath 15 to 60 mins

Anulom Vilom Alternate Nostril Breath 15 mins to no limit

Bhramari Humming Bee Breath max 21 times

[JayPwP in reply to JayPwP]

Its a worthwhile investment. What else is there to do anyway. And this is as per your convenience and capacity. If you cant do more than 10 seconds, its alright, keep doing for 10 seconds.

How I know it's helping me is my OURA ring shows indication that after each yoga session my HRV is high. I've had trouble with HRV (heart rate variability being too low). Many of us with PD probably in the same boat. I now know Yoga is one of my tools for getting that HRV up.
