Parkinson's Friendly Movement to Music Class

Welcome to Parkinson's Friendly Movement to Music Class at The BIGG Theatre! Join us on October 3, 2025 at 12:15 PM (Europe/London) for a fun and interactive session.

About Jasmine and the session:

Jasmine is a seated movement exercise coach who focuses on creating a space for exercise with laughter, fun music and community. Jasmine adds dance fusion to her exercises allowing for people to work on their co-ordination, patterns and rhythm, whilst creating a more light-hearted feel to the exercise.

There is never any pressure to move “well” or in time, there are no wrongs or rights and there would only ever be a correction for safety reasons. The focus is on the body, how each individual feels on the day – whether they want to push themselves or know to take it easier. There is encouragement to sing along but not mandatory – Jasmine will always be found singing (somewhat in-tune). In the session you can expect a warm-up, movement for the arms and legs, co-ordinating movements, brain exercises, one optional standing up song (that can be done sat down), props and a stretch at the end.

Jasmine incorporates bi-lateral asymmetry, mirroring, somatic approaches, exercise technique, fine motor skills and whole-body movements. All of this aims to work both the brain and the body to help you in everyday life.

The sessions will always have a bit of time at the end to socialise – or you can sit in the theatre café for a drink or a snack. There is an accessible entrance to the hall and all you need is yourself, perhaps someone to bring you along to class and some water (Jasmine will have a handful of cups for water as well).
