Sometimes a condition is life-long, in which case the care must ease symptoms or reduce pain. With this in mind, one California woman has begun holding yoga classes for people with Parkinson's disease.
The ways in which the body goes about self healing are subtle and take time, so by using any sort of mind-body system, like meditation or Dahn Yoga, health may be restored that much more quickly. Of course, sometimes a condition is life-long, in which case the care must ease symptoms or reduce pain. With this in mind, one California woman has begun holding yoga classes for people with Parkinson’s disease.
Colleen Carroll, who lives in Topanga Canyon, regularly holds stretching and breathing tutorials for people with multiple sclerosis, stroke, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, according to the Pacific Palisades Post.
She told the news source that her students engage in exercises and relaxation techniques designed to facilitate self healing and to correct posture.
Of her members, she said that “they come into my class hunched over, shuffling, tremoring and walk out with a long stride and upright,” as quoted by the website. Carroll added that while she knows that healing is not the same as curing, she finds pleasure in helping people work with their disabilities. This is something she and Dahn Yoga health experts share, along with many other yoga instructors.
