It is fundamental in order to preserve adequate movements to exercise and strengthen neural pathways more so when a disease is weakening them.
Not all form of exercise are the same, several clinical studies have shown that Yoga and Tai- Chi are the best practice in helping Parkinson’s Disease patients to slow down degeneration and maintain functional movements.
Not all Yoga practices are the same, it requires sound knowledge of brain functions, spine anatomy and body alignment to design an individualized treatment plan directed to the individual specific needs.
Izzy has acquired those knowledges and has devoted her yoga practice and teaching to improve symptoms and life style of individuals with neurologic conditions.

Whether you are new to yoga or are looking for a way to refresh your practice, I highly recommend scheduling a session with Izzy Gandarilla, the founder and studio director of Neuro Yoga Institute.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Izzy in a number of capacities over the last 10 years and, in that time, have watched her develop into a leader within Chicagoland’s yogic community. Izzy’s knowledge of the relationship between the mind and body is complemented by her compassionate and gentle approach. Not only have I benefited from her teachings, but I have come to appreciate her innate capacity to connect with others as they too developed a more centered approach to life.
