Do you know someone who would benefit from the Peninsula Pilates Project's Movement Disorder Class, geared towards people with Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, or Traumatic Brain Injury? As of mid-February, we have open space in our March classes, held Mondays and Wednesdays, 1pm-1:45pm. Please phone Erin 949-374-4683 for more information or to reserve a spot.

The Movement Disorder Class encourages body awareness and mind-body connections. Research has shown that exercise can improve gait, balance, tremor, flexibility, grip strength, motor coordination, and contribute to neuroplasticity which helps the brain form new connections. Balance and proprioception can be compromised by Parkinson’s disease, so this class emphasizes activities that stimulate the brain and body simultaneously.
