YOGA CLASSES – starting March 9th 2023

Aquatherapy (Swimming) for Parkinson’s
Exercising in water is one of the best ways to help maintain balance, strength, flexibility and general fitness, whilst also having some fun! The group is well equipped to ensure safe exercise, and the buoyancy effect of the water means that there is no risk of falling whilst exercising.
