Q: Richard Rosen’s post on yoga and Parkinson’s Disease this week was very informative. Do you know of any ongoing yoga classes especially for people with Parkinson’s Disease?
A: For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, Piedmont Yoga Studio in Oakland, CA, has two weekly classes for anyone with PD or for caregivers, taught by Vickie Russell Bell.
Classes are held on Tuesdays 3:00 pm - 4:15 pm and Thursdays 1:30 pm - 2:45. Advance registration is required. Both the Tuesday and the Thursday classes are now full, but a waiting list has been started. For more information or to sign up for the waiting list, call (510) 658-8899 or send email to yoga@pdactive.org.
Also, the PD Active blog has information about classes and support groups for people with PD. (PD Active is a group of Berkeley/Oakland-based people impacted by Parkinson’s disease who act to build and strengthen their local community through advocacy, dance classes and other activities.)
Readers: If you have information about PD yoga classes or resources that you’d like to share, please let us know, either in a comment or through email.
Q: Which questions would you like to see us address in this weekly post?
