Things we like to do
We meet weekly, and have occasional speakers of interest, such as Pharma reps to learn about new treatments and other speakers of interest to our group. Lately, we have enjoyed doing chair yoga regularly with a great yoga teacher. Exercise is so beneficial and most of our people participate in some form of exercise because it makes them feel better. Rock Steady Boxing has become a favorite activity for many of our members and is very popular. Mainly, we share information and camaraderie with each other and do our best to lift each other up as we meet each challenge that life and Parkinson’s sends our way.
