    I do balance exercises 4-5x/week, including 1x in a visit with PT.  I also take meds, box, do yoga, weight training and walk.  However, my balance seems to be worsening.  Have you found anything; meds, exercises, etc.  that has improved your balance?

    Absolutely yoga!! My balance has improved well over what it was before I even got Parkinson’s. What I don’t know is what my balance now would have been had I never done yoga, but that’s always the case with anything we do or take. And AFAIK there’s certainly no downside to yoga.

    Yes, yoga is extremely helpful.  I enjoy my 2 classes/week, mainly for the peace and quiet where all I need to do is focus on the moment.
