As our audience grows on this platform, we’d like to share a bit about our program for everyone who is new to Power for Parkinson’s. Power for Parkinson’s, or “PFP,” was founded in 2013 as a passion project for co-founders Dr. Nina Mosier and Susan Stahl, who both had fathers living with Parkinson’s disease. PFP was designed to provide free, research backed fitness and social opportunities for those living with Parkinson’s in Austin, Texas.

Over the years, PFP has grown to serve hundreds of individuals in and around Austin, and many more worldwide through our virtual classes on YouTube. As our community continues to grow and the PFP team works to better serve our Participants, we always stay true to our mission to provide completely free fitness, dance and singing classes for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners.

Click through these slides to learn more about our organization, or click the link in our bio to visit our website. If you are a person with Parkinson’s or a care partner to someone with PD, we would love to have you at one of our classes!

Today’s Move & Shout class is all about amplifying our voices and movements.
Many people with Parkinson’s find that their voices are becoming softer and their movements smaller. This exercise sequence aims to push back on that by reinforcing large movements and loud voices.
