Mendocino Dance Project Parkinson's Dance Class
The essence of dance is joy. In addition to all of the physical benefits, dance builds community. It brings people together, provides a space to connect, and offers healthy and fun ways to build strength, coordination, balance, and stability all while using creativity and imagery to inspire movement. Programming has been made possible in part by The Community Foundation of Mendocino County’s 2025 Fund for Healthy and Inclusive Communities, a Dance for PD Launch Grant, a funding initiative of the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Dance for PD® program, Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District’s District Services Grant, and generous donors. Classes are offered at no cost.
T'ai Chi Chih: Parkinson’s
T'ai Chi Chih complimentary classes are being offered to Parkinson's people and their caregivers on the first Thursday of the month from 12:15 - 1:15 pm at Caspar Community Center. Chairs will be available and the Center has wheelchair access in the rear of the building. Offered by Dyana Sangrall (accredited instructor for 35 years), T'ai Chi Chih is easy to learn and very effective -- even after one class. Many doctors are recommending t'ai chi for their Parkinson's patients. Benefits may include: improved breathing and circulation, better balance, enhanced concentration, and focus, stress reduction, strengthens bones, and improves digestion. And, of course, renewed stamina, vitality and joy! Contact Dyana at chirising.dyana@gmail.com or text 707-813-1290
