During the pandemic, our classes shifted to a fully virtual format on YouTube, transforming our program into a global movement. Our mission is to improve the wellbeing of people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease through group fitness and social interaction, both of which have been proven highly beneficial for people with Parkinson's.
