Qigong for People with Parkinson's
Alongside the widely recognised physical symptoms of Parkinson's, there are also significant issues to be addressed around Mental Health and the aim of this program is to address both the Physical and Mental wellbeing aspects of the diagnosis.
Because it's important that the practice is safe and accessible, each section has a mixture of standing and seated practices. It's important when practicing to do so in a way that is both slightly challenging and safe, so if you have issues with balance, only use the standing practice when you have suitable supervision and/or precautions in place.

This content is result of many years working with groups of people who are affected by Parkinson's diagnosis and are designed to work at a level that is adaptable and accessible to individual needs.
This course has been made possible due to a collaboration between the following organisations:
Qigong Academy - who provided the course material
Calm Healthy Happy - who have financially supported the project
Digital Human - for their technical expertise in both design and editing
Suffolk Yoga - who provided the studio space for the recording
N.B. This course was developed as a free course and the content is available free of charge through Calm Healthy Happy. Due to Udemy's rules, we are unable to offer a course which exceeds 2 hours of content for free so we have selected the lowest pricing tier for the training rather than attempt to reduce edit the course down.
