Parkinson's affects people of all races and cultures. Around 10 million people have the condition worldwide, approximately 1.0 million in the US, in which 225,000 of those are 50 or younger and many people who are diagnosed with Parkinson's are over 60. 

Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses differently in each individual, however, the chronic and progressive disease is associated with a loss of dopamine in the brain. This leads to a loss of control over bodily movement and less mobility. Adaptive therapeutic yoga helps develop positive skills.
