"“I have never been a person who enjoyed exercising but I have done yoga regularly because it really helps me feel and function better. The math is easy to figure out—an hour of yoga and I’ll feel better for the rest of the day about 12 to 14 hours. For reasons I don’t understand, it makes my meds work longer; so less off time.”"
-PAT H., ATTENDING SINCE 2006
"“Since attending, my flexibility, balance and outlook have improved. My neurologist has been amazed by my progress. Peter Lynch, the instructor, says the challenge is within, emphasizing effort, but not risking injury or strain. The group offers support, humor and kinship for those with Parkinson’s Disease.""
-BILL C., ATTENDING SINCE 2013
"“It’s like a support group without the angst and it takes the ‘park’ out of Parkinson’s.”"
-TERRY H., ATTENDING SINCE 2010
Why 90 minutes?
What equipment do I need to do Yoga for PD?
All you need is a computer, tablet, or smartphone (preferably with a camera, though not required), a sturdy chair and a little space around you to move. Additional props might be a strap or belt, a pillow for when we get on the floor, and a yoga mat.
It is helpful to download Zoom here before you attend these classes.
Isn’t yoga only for flexible people?
If you aren’t flexible, yoga is for you! Yoga is for people who want, among other things, to become more flexible. Much of the Yoga for People with Parkinson’s practice is done from a seated position (chair or mobility device), or standing, using a chair back for balance.
I thought yoga was just for women.
Yoga for People with Parkinson’s classes average equal numbers of men and women.
Isn’t Yoga just stretching?
Yoga for People with Parkinson’s classes focus on delivering a well-rounded regimen of stretching, strengthening, and balance exercises. Even students who have practiced yoga before are surprised by the workout they get.
What is an “RYT?”
RYT stands for Registered Yoga Teacher. This indicates a yoga teacher has completed a 200-hour Yoga Alliance registered teacher-training program and has registered him or herself with the Yoga Alliance. Peter is an E-RYT, meaning Experience Registered Yoga Teacher with over 5000 hours of teaching experience, and he has completed two separate 200-hour programs - one at Samadhi Yoga in Seattle from 2009-2010, and one at Seattle Yoga Arts in Seattle from 2012-2013. Peter has also trained and completed certification in PWR!Moves® (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) in 2018 and in 2024.
