Support Groups
The role of a care partner is multifaceted. They are responsible for assisting a loved one facing physical and/or mental challenges while also taking time to care for themselves.
Care partners often manage medical, physical, cognitive, emotional, and financial concerns for their loved ones. This balancing act can lead to their own needs being overlooked. Supporting a partner through a Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis adds to the challenge.
YogaReach sessions are designed to be adaptive and inclusive, catering specifically to care partners. These sessions are perfect for siblings, spouses, children, aides, or anyone offering support, helping them maintain balance and well-being while providing care.​​​
It is vital to focus on where you are now in your role as a carepartner, discuss changes, explain educational modules, attend to your own needs and share support as you participate in our educational journey.
Our adaptive physical movements, restorative poses, and individualized support will increase
needs and develop a social networking group.

Care Partner's Groups
Therapeutic yoga can help increase positive feelings and help decrease physical and emotional strain. As our programs encourage mindful practice, YogaReach sessions help increase harmony and unite the mind, body, and spirit during class and beyond.
Support Group for Women Living with PD
A support group for women with Parkinson's can be a valuable space for connection, shared experiences, and emotional support. These groups often provide a safe and understanding environment where women can openly discuss their unique challenges with the disease, including how it impacts their personal lives, families, and careers. Many groups offer educational resources, guidance on navigating treatments, and strategies for managing symptoms.
Beyond just support, these groups can foster friendships and a sense of empowerment, helping members feel understood and less isolated. Some groups even host guest speakers, health professionals, or run workshops tailored to women’s specific needs, offering a holistic approach to living with Parkinson’s.

​
-
physical strength and agility differences
