tight, painful muscles, build confidence, and in general, enhance the

ago, has experienced these benefits firsthand. In Yoga and Parkinson's Disease,
van Hulsteyn draws on her 40-year yoga practice, collaborating with two
certified yoga teachers to provide an accessible, easy-to-follow, and
encouraging guide for bringing the benefits of yoga into your life, even
if you've never done yoga before.
