The classes are delivered in rolling Monthly blocks and are designed to address the common difficulties encountered by people with Parkinson’s; incorporating strength, balance and aerobic exercise for a fun and effective overall workout! Each block has a different theme and you will also be provided with home exercises to complement each theme.
