We Care About Maintaining Your Safety.
We recognize the danger that Covid-19 represents to our Parkinson’s Community. Activities have resumed, but we are taking several precautions. We require all participants to sign a liability waiver, meaning you will participate at your own risk, even though we are trying to create as safe an environment as possible.
Masks/Face Coverings – Optional
Sanitizing Equipment – Equipment must be wiped down between uses.
Hand Washing – Please wash your hands before and after class.
Boxing Gloves – It’s best bring your own, although we do have some extras.
Yoga Mats – It’s best to bring your own, although we do have some extras.
