Dates: April 1, 8, 15 & 29

Join us for Voice Aerobics®, a dynamic 50-minute class designed to combine voice exercises with movement. This 4-week series, led by Mary, focuses on posture, breathing, and vocal strength while also incorporating swallowing exercises. Each session targets different aspects of speech production, helping individuals with Parkinson’s and related conditions improve their communication skills.

Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about motor speech and swallowing challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease. All exercises can be performed while seated, making this class accessible to everyone.
