SEASON 1: EPISODE 8B Jessica Ackerman talks about speech classes and yoga for Parkinson’s https://www.jessicaackerman.com/
Jessica runs Zoom classes for voice and yoga, she' worked with the PD community for over 20 years.
She runs zoom classes for a "Speak Steady" program
Speak Steady Program for people with Parkinson's and other neurologic impairments.
This targeted program is delivered by Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Jessica Ackerman MSCCC-SLP, also a Registered Yoga Teacher with a career of experience in Voice and Speech Therapy for neurologic impairments, including LSVT LOUD. Jessica's breath-based yoga program aims to maximize vocal loudness, breath support for speech, and intelligibility of speech that so often impact communication effectiveness of people with Parkinson's Disease.
This weekly program focuses on synchronizing basic gentle yoga poses with breath (matching a movement to an inhale and a movement to an exhale). Movements and poses can be achieved in a chair, wheelchair, recliner, standing, or yoga mat.
If/when you have voice issues, this program is highly recommended
