Hosting a YogaReach Mindful Movement for Parkinson's
Professional Training will help you gain useful skills for your own practice as well as inspire attendees to reach within and strengthen their abilities!
Our talented YogaReach Instructors will train workshop attendees to lead their own Mindful Movement classes for clients with PD and to incorporate adaptive therapeutic yoga practices into work with a multitude of clients.
YogaReach founder, Char Grossman, has created a targeted program for the growing community living with the effects of Parkinson's disease. For many years, the YogaReach team has served clients with neurological and neuromuscular challenges. YogaReach has instructed over thousands of clients and their carepartners managing life with PD. In response, Char developed the YogaReach Mindful Movement for PD class to incorporate adaptive techniques to strengthen the neuromuscular needs of this population. Students attending class are guided in movements that mimic daily skills in order to help them strengthen everyday movements and regain some control. When attending our live virtual or at your residence, you will learn how to hold your own classes in your communities.
To share these life changing techniques with others serving those living with PD, Char now offers the YogaReach Mindful Movement for PD Professional Workshop.
