My goals are to improve posture, muscle tone, and general health, which is why I thought of yoga. But I would also like to join a martial arts club. Would kung fu kill both birds with one stone, so to speak?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability. Non-motor symptoms, including pain, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and depression to name a few, are increasingly recognized and often just as disabling at motor symptoms. The mainstay of treatment is dopamine replacement; however, the beneficial effects tend to wane over time with disease progression, and patients often experience motor fluctuations and medication side effects. The lack of a disease-modifying intervention and the shortcomings of traditional symptomatic medications have led many patients to pursue complementary therapies to alleviate motor and non-motor symptoms associated with PD. The term complementary implies that the therapy is used along with conventional medicine and may include supplements, manipulative treatments (chiropractic, massage), exercise-based programs, and mind-body practices. As these practices become more widespread in Western medicine, there is a growing interest in evaluating their effects on a number of medical conditions, PD included. In this review, we provide an update on clinical trials that have evaluated the effectiveness of complementary treatments for patients with PD, specifically focusing on acupuncture, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, yoga, and cannabis.

Everyone apart from those contra-indicated (see below). This is an accessible practice and is especially useful for people who find the meditation aspect of yoga difficult. Gong Yoga is both relaxing and energising so covers most bases.
At 6 feet and 250 pounds, Spc. David Kocian may not resemble a stereotypical yoga instructor. But after interest in that workout routine began to increase among his fellow Task Force Keystone soldiers, that's exactly what he became.
"A lot of people heard through the grapevine that I did yoga at home and while we were mobilizing at Fort Sill," said Kocian, a human resources specialist and field artilleryman by trade. "Most people were a little surprised, but I thought I might be able to teach them what I've learned."
Kocian had taken classes for three years at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., where he worked as an active Pennsylvania National Guard member prior to his unit's mobilization in January.
"I even purchased a video, so I could do it more often on my own," he said.
His teaching career didn't begin until his unit was due to depart their mobilization station, Fort Sill, Okla., and at first, attendance was relatively low, but Kocian attributes that to the high operational tempo the unit was experiencing as their departure date grew closer.
After the 28th Combat Aviation Brigade arrived at their final destination of Camp Adder,
Kocian immediately began to hang flyers at the gyms and dining facilities on post. Kocian has only held two classes at Camp Adder so far, but attendance is already on the rise.
"The first night I had about 15 and there were probably 25 on the second night," he said.
The popularity of yoga in a combat zone is a reflection of its ability to transport a soldier into a peaceful world where they can leave stress at the door, according to Kocian.
"Once you cross that threshold into my room, its yoga world," said Kocian. "Forget about your pain, forget about your problems, forget about your supervisor, forget what you just did and what you will be doing in the future," he said.
His points are certainly not lost on his students.
First Lt. Dave Sabulsky, the 28th CAB projects engineer, from Jamestown, N.Y., participated in yoga for the first time during Kocian's second class at Adder.
"I've been running projects and planning 24/7," said Sabulsky. "I haven't been able to exercise much, and this is a pretty big stress reliever as well."
There may be an emphasis on stress relief and relaxation, but Kocian's brand of yoga is definitely a workout as well. Power yoga is not just about doing the movements, but also holding them for an extended period of time.
Yoga can definitely seem intimidating on the surface, but even though he was a first timer, Sabulsky didn't find the learning curve to be very steep. He credits Kocian's teaching for this.
"He was relaxed. He knows what he's doing and enjoys what he's doing," said Sabulsky. "That made it easy to follow along."
Spc. Stephanie Cantando, the brigade commander's assistant, from East Stroudsburg, Pa., agreed. "He's very flexible and knowledgeable about what he's doing," said Cantando. "And he breaks it down so that beginners know what they're doing."
Kocian enjoys the compliments he regularly receives after class, but this self-described 'kung-fu panda' is generally modest about his abilities as a teacher.
"I get people coming up to me, telling me that class was great and they'll be coming back," said Kocian. "But what makes me feel great is that I'm providing them with a service."
Kung Fu, kungfu or gung fu/gongfu refers to the Chinese Martial Arts, also called Wushu and Quanfa. In China, it refers to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete.
Jack (Jackie Chan), a world-renowned archaeology professor, and his team are on a grand quest to locate a lost ancient Indian treasure when they are ambushed by a team of mercenaries and left for dead. Using his vast knowledge of history and kung fu, Jack leads his team on a race around the world to beat the mercenaries to the treasure and save an ancient culture
KUNG FU YOGA features Jackie Chan as Professor Jack, an archaeologist, who receives a request from a young, beautiful Indian professor, Dr. Ashmita, to launch a treasure hunt for an ancient lost Indian treasure. Besides being knowledgeable in archaeology, Professor Jack displays his expert skills in Kung Fu while Dr. Ashmita shows her expert skills in yoga. The unlikely duo quickly discovers the first clue, which leads to a glacier.
Both yoga and qigong emphasize three common components in their fundamental practices: (1) stretching of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, where thousands of proprioceptive receptors are located; (2) controlled breathing leading to the harmonization of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems; (3) the obtention of a state of tranquility of the mind, which can be considered as meditation [2].
Qigong is a Chinese traditional medicine that uses vegetative biofeedback therapy to promote health and wellbeing and to treat medical conditions [3]. It combines gentle body movements with breathing and mindfulness [4,5]. Traditionally, qigong has been defined as the harmonization of qi (the internal vital energy of the body) and blood in the body, aiming to prevent disease and improve health [6,7]. The biophysical effects of qigong as a vegetative biofeedback therapy can be measured and quantified using various methods, namely, the measurement of the electrical potential of the skin [3]. Qigong is particularly appropriate for older people due to its gentle and smooth movements [8]; qigong movements are usually slower and gentler than yoga movements.
Gender differences in the practice of tai chi and qigong have been reported. Yoga classes are predominantly attended by females, but the reasons for this difference have not yet been well documented [19]. Yoga users are more likely to be white, female, young, and college educated, and benefits have been reported for musculoskeletal conditions and for mental health [21]. In Australia, although both yoga and qigong were found to be dominated by women, qigong appears to have a stronger appeal to men when compared to yoga [22]. In contrast, a yoga practitioner in India is more likely to be male, between 21 and 44 years of age, high-school educated, and a student [23].
