The first module sets the foundation for the course, addressing key challenges such as difficulty with balance, rigidity, and stress, common struggles for those with Parkinson’s.   (Wednesday 8th Oct / 7.30pm Irish Time)

Stepping into the unknown can feel daunting, but you are not alone. In this intimate, supportive group, we’ll begin by getting to know one another, sharing experiences, and setting the stage for the transformation ahead. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, have been living with Parkinson’s for years, or are a caregiver supporting a loved one, this is a space for understanding, encouragement, and empowerment.

The way we breathe affects everything—our energy, our mobility, even our ability to stay grounded when Parkinson’s tries to pull us off balance. By practicing breathing and movement together, you’ll build a solid foundation for the rest of the course, strengthening your mind-body connection in a way that medication alone can’t achieve.

This week, we introduce Abdominal & Wave Breathing and “Walking Through Tall Grass”, simple yet powerful practices that:

✔ Calms the nervous system and reduces stress-related tremors
✔ Improves oxygen flow to the brain for mental clarity and focus
✔ Promotes smooth, controlled movement, helping prevent freezing episodes

✔ Reduces the freeze response through deliberate, exaggerated movement 
✔ Encouraging better posture and stability
✔ Activating a different part of the brain to re-route movement patterns

Sleep disturbances are one of the most frustrating aspects of Parkinson’s—waking up stiff, struggling to turn in bed, or spending hours restless and exhausted. This week, we focus on regaining control over sleep, using gentle movement, acupressure, and natural remedies to calm the nervous system and invite deep rest.

We’ll check in, share progress, and refine our Qi Gong practices, ensuring that the techniques are working for you.  Plus we’ll add “Connecting Heaven & Earth” to relax the nervous system.
