The cost is $50 for the Monday or Wednesday series of classes during the eight-week session, or $78 for both the Monday and Wednesday series of classes.

This exercise class is specifically designed for people with Parkinsons disease and is based on the most current research and established exercise guidelines.
It includes stretching, strengthening and coordination exercises and is appropriate for people at various stages of Parkinsons disease.
