Parkinson Canada has partnered with Sarah Marten’s (she/her) to bring you online movement classes for people with Parkinson’s. Classes will run every Friday at 12PM/EST from January 5th, 2024 through March 31st, 2024 and are offered for a fee of $50.00.
This series will have 3 main themes running in rotation throughout the program.
- Quality of Movement/Dynamics (fast vs slow, sharp vs soft)
- Rhythmic Engagement/Musicality in Movement
- Stimulating CognitiveFunction, Memory, Spatial Awareness
Classes will start with seated mobility exercises. A wooden chair with no arm rests is recommended for those who do not need arm rest support while seated. A portion of the class can be done standing, seated modifications will be offered. A small soft foam ball will be used for various exercises, though if not available a tennis ball or similar type will work. Time will be given at the end of each class for sharing and questions.
