The Art of BIG by Simona
Mondays | 12:45-1:45PM
The Art of BIG by Simona is a wellness program developed for Parkinson’s afflicted people to regain and sustain their motor function, balance, voice, strength, and cognition. By doing so, a sense of joy and community is reinstated while also delaying the progress of the disease. 

The Art of BIG by Simona draws inspiration from LSVT BIG, BIG FOR LIFE, Marc Morris Dance for Parkinson’s and is based on years of experience rehabilitating patients with diverse neurological and motor movement impairments.  

This is a one hour class consisting of

• BIG warmup movements to the sound of slow music
• High intensity interval training exercise to increase heart rate, perspiration, and dopamine levels, all while listening to upbeat music
• Brain stimulation through trivia quizzes, BIG writing problem solving, and reciting poetry, while listening to stimulating music
• Painting, drawing, coloring, cutting, and other crafts within a timed period to create a sense of competition while listening to fast beat classical music to increase brain frequencies
• LOUD singing or reading aloud for voice strengthening
• A final seasonal dance number that has elements of structure and free form expression
