Summary

The purpose of this research study is to establish if a novel high-speed yoga program which incorporates visual cues can make a positive change in the participant's ability to make decisions and move as measured by several cognitive, balance and functional tests. It has been shown that yoga can improve balance and movement in those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

High-speed yoga multi-directional yoga

The yoga training will be performed over a 4-month period where classes will be held two times per week. Each session will include a warm-up, speed and balance training section, and cooldown phase. The yoga program will include four separate progressions with the first four weeks serving as a familiarization phase, where the participants will be introduced to the poses and proper technique will be demonstrated. The second four-week phase will emphasize a speed component used to target improvements in aerobic capacity. The same poses previously learned will be used. The final two phases will increase in intensity maintaining the speed element and include skill-based training, where the participants will be asked to complete each pose moving as quickly as possible in response to visual and auditory cues.
