A new series of chair yoga classes have launched for people living with Parkinson's in West Bridgford and the surrounding areas of Nottingham.
People living with Parkinson’s in West Bridgford and the surrounding areas of Nottingham are being encouraged to try a specialist chair yoga class which is aiming to help more people live well for autumn with the condition.

Delivered by Zoey Wren Yoga with support from Parkinson’s UK, the new sessions are designed to be a fun and friendly way for local people living with Parkinson’s or similar neurological conditions to get active and improve their wellbeing.
The classes are led by Zoey Wren, an experienced yoga instructor and person with Parkinson’s who understands not only the condition, but the importance of helping all ages and abilities to live well.
Yoga is designed to be adaptable and flexible to all participants’ needs with the emphasis on improving flexibility, posture and mindfulness.
No previous experience of yoga is required, and carers and relatives are also welcome to watch or join in. It is recommended to wear comfortable activewear and footwear and to bring a bottle of water.
