We love pattern exercises!
This pattern exercise from yesterday’s Strength & Balance class is designed to help with memory, coordination, trunk rotation, range of motion, and core strength, PLUS by crossing the midline, we’re engaging our brains more fully. Give this pattern a try, and remember to check out our full classes on YouTube at YouTube.com/powerforparkinsons.

We all scream for ice cream! 🍨
We had the best time celebrating the success of this year’s ice cream challenge with participants from Team Riptide. We couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who supported this year’s fundraising campaign, and it was so wonderful to have an excuse to spend the afternoon celebrating with our AMAZING participants. 🍦
