I love the idea of yoga for Parkinson’s, I wish we lived closer! My dad has PD and I think it would help him a lot, lots of balance issues (actually he’s currently in a rehab facility after a 13 hour back surgery as a result of a fall). As I mentioned, we are too far from you but wondered if you had any knowledge of anything like this in the US, preferably the Midwest? Or do you ever do seminars around there, perhaps the Chicago area? Or even any DVDs or online videos you have done? I’m not even completely sure what all he’ll be able to do since this surgery as he has a ton of rods in there now….but thank you for any insight you could provide! 🙂
Hi!
Unfortunately, I don’t have video’s/books, but there is a great one from my colleague Renee LeVerrier, who is a yoga instructor WITH Parkinson’s. Here’s a link to her site: http://www.limyoga.com/parkinsons-dvd.html
… hope that helps. Take care, K
Thank you!
Dear Kaitlyn, your program sounds perfect for me save one small detail – I live in Manitoba. Do you have videos? Karen Gross

My dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.his symptoms were shuffling of feet,slurred speech,degradation of hand writing, horrible driving skills, right arm held at 46 degree angle, things were tough for me, but now he finally free from the disease with the help of total cure from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC, he now walks properly and all symptoms has reversed, he was having trouble with balance especially at night, getting into the shower and exiting it is difficult,getting into bed is also another thing he finds impossible.we had to find a better solution for his condition which really helped him a lot,the biggest helped we had was ultimate life clinic they walked us through the proper steps,i recommended this http://www.ultimatelifeclinic.com to anyone who also needs help.
