Yoga for Parkinson's Disease..Keeping the Mind and Body Physically Active


Yoga for Parkinson's Disease...Keeping the body physically active on a daily basis is important for everyone and especially people with Parkinson's and other neurological and muscular disorders. Physical activity can improve overall health as well as emotional well-being. Yoga may be a perfect type of exercise for Parkinson's patients because of its gentle and slow movements. According to the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society, yoga can help people with Parkinson's better manage and live with the disease. Additionally, the Parkinson's Hope Digest reports that a number of Parkinson' patients have reported diminished symptoms and improved motion and emotional spirits after taking yoga classes.Since yoga involves stretching the body, this factor may help people with Parkinson's improve their mobility and range of motion. Some yoga classes that are designed for students with special needs, such as those with Parkinson's disease, incorporate balance training and gentle yoga poses, including back strengthening postures, shoulder movements and meditation. Yoga also stresses the importance of proper breathing techniques into its movements to enhance lung function.The various body poses that are performed in yoga will not stop the progression of Parkinson's disease from progressing, but it can lessen its symptoms and enhance both physical and mental strength. Yoga can have an uplifting emotional impact on people with Parkinson's. It is recommended that people talk to their doctor before starting a yoga practice or any other exercise routine.
