Q ? from Tatiana - What practices would be feasible, useful for a person with Parkinson’s disease? I took a class of 13 people with various illness, conditions (MS, brain damage, arthritis) through awareness, pranayama and very modified Asana done in a chair. There were too many to work one-on-one with the man with Parkinson’s. He was shaking so violently, I put a bolster between his legs and belted his thighs. This allowed him have some steady contact with the ground and eased the shaking in the lower extremities. I watched him still and quiet during the breathing exercises, but during the modified asanas, his body went back to the trembling.
Any suggestions, words are most appreciated. Thank you also for your answers to my questions of last week.
Bless you. Tatiana
