Fitness Training?? I am.. ?" 

It's true, it's not always easy to exercise when you have Parkinson's, although we are all aware of the close and proven connection between improving fitness through regular and appropriate physical activity and reducing the signs of the disease and improving daily functioning. In training, we will learn together and practice effective, simple and fun fitness exercises with techniques specially adapted for Parkinson's patients at all levels, and which can be performed by yourself in your home environment. As part of the training, we will combine strength exercises to strengthen the muscles, balance, aerobic fitness, flexibility and posture and help to improve the stability and mobility of the body. The training will be carried out by different facilitators and will include practice accessories such as a pillow, rubber band, weights, ball and more.

Using Gaga, we develop and strengthen dormant areas of the body and offer solutions for temporary or permanent weaknesses. Gaga is a movement language developed by Ohad Naharin. Gaga offers participants a framework to connect with their bodies and their imaginations, experience sensations and emotions, improve flexibility and experience the pleasure of movement in an inviting and enabling environment.

Gaga contributes to the health of body and mind and enables access to all our abilities.

Ronit Verdi, Kundalini Yoga teacher and qualified physiotherapist. Holistic therapist with a variety of methods 

Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness. Yoga built for every person who wants to feel better, be happier and healthier. No need to be particularly flexible or strong. Start where you are today, and progress from there. Yoga teaches us to connect the body with the mind and spirit. to be whole. to function at our full potential. Sometimes when one part becomes difficult, another part can come to the rescue, and thus it is possible to strengthen and function in different and varied ways. In practice we will work on the nervous system, the hormonal system, the respiratory system, the digestive system and the entire skeleton. Each lesson will focus on a different topic. Sometimes the issues are more physical, such as spine flexibility, improving breathing or strengthening the immune system. Sometimes we will focus on other topics related to acceptance, forgiveness, healing and love. All this is done with moderate physical work, with everyone working at their own pace, according to their ability, while combining flexibility, strengthening, breathing, using the voice (mantra) and relaxation.

Everyone in their home is welcome to find a comfortable, quiet and ventilated place. You need a yoga mat (or any mat), a pillow and maybe a blanket to cover yourself in relaxation. And from here - you are invited to let yourself surrender to the experience! 

Yours in love,
Satnam,
Ronit

Physiotherapy for people with Parkinson's

Movement is a central treatment in dealing with Parkinson's disease. This is exactly the reason to join us for group practice regularly.

The practice will focus each time on several important elements: flexibility, balance, muscle strength, combination of movements, specific movements for those diagnosed with Parkinson's, relaxation and stretching.

To offer variety, in each workout we use exercise equipment such as: a stick, a ball, a mat for practicing on the floor, weights, etc. If you do not have the required equipment, alternative exercises will be offered without accessories.

Pilates training (controllogy) is a practice method for controlling and harmonizing the mind and spirit, which helps the body to be balanced, in a correct posture, with correct mobility while using the body's energy correctly.

The method challenges the body and lifts the mood and above all - improves the ability of the trainees to function on a daily basis!

The principles of the method are precisely suited to the movement needs of those dealing with Parkinson's, who need balanced, controlled and synchronized movement with breathing, and in full ranges.

The method combines breathing control, coordination between body systems, concentration, movement control, movement flow and physical element. All of these drain to allow movement and flexibility even in day-to-day functioning.

The combination of occupational therapy and pilates allows for the use of movement variety to improve daily functions and is an important element in enriching the daily routine and disease management. 

Closed group lessons:

The method challenges the body and elevates the mood, and most importantly - improves the ability of the trainees to function effectively on a daily basis.

In a regular group, we can go through a process of conscious and unconscious motor learning. For the sake of motor learning, many and consistent repetitions are necessary.

Learning to control movement and increase physical awareness requires regular and evolving training.

Above all, in the regular and intimate group we can refer to the elements of daily functioning in each class and learn movement that facilitates functioning.
