Jed Parsons, Physical Activity Programme Manager at Parkinson’s UK, said: “I am delighted that Parkinson’s UK has been able to agree the new partnership with the British Wheel of Yoga and to offer more opportunities for people living with Parkinson’s to access yoga classes across the UK. Yoga is shown to have many benefits for a person’s physical and mental wellbeing when they live with Parkinson’s and it can be a very accessible and adaptable way to live well with a long term health condition. We are encouraging everyone with a connection to Parkinson’s to join us on Friday 10th April to try the free seated yoga class and find out how the activity can help you live well at any time of the year.” Diana O’Reilly, Chair at the British Wheel of Yoga, said: “Yoga can be hugely beneficial for people with Parkinson’s. Gentle chair-based practices can be adapted for almost everyone, which means people can participate safely whether they are newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for many years. Through this partnership, we want to give more teachers the tools they need to welcome people with Parkinson’s into their classes and to make sure no one feels that yoga ‘isn’t for them’.” For more information about the British Wheel of Yoga, visit their website: bwy.org.uk or to book your place on the free taster session, visit the events page to register: portal.bwy.org.uk/user/events/1122 Join In Walks In The New Forest Are you looking for a fun and easy way to improve your health and meet new people?
