Rock Steady Boxing Class
Monday September 14th
Roger Sherman Baldwin Park
100 Arch St Greenwich
Toni Mafes received her certification in Rock Steady Boxing for Parkinson’s disease back in 2017.  She  is the head coach of RSB at Belmars gym in White Plains NY.  
  
In 2006, Toni fought in the NY Daily News Golden Gloves, 
 
She worked with many athletes of all ages and abilities. I've coached cheerleading for ages 3- 21 years of age, done strength and conditioning for gymnasts and been teaching boxing /muay thai for the last 15 years. 
 
"It has always been great to work with people on their personal fitness goals but Rock Steady Boxing offered an opportunity to work with people who were fighting for their lives. 
 
"My Rock Steady Boxers are the hardest working people I have ever worked with." 
 
Rock Steady is different from other boxing classes because we are catered to the needs of people with PD. Boxing itself offers great benefits (coordination, strength, fitness, bone density, stress management) Rock Steady adds vocalization, balance, fine motor, dexterity, cognitive functions- just to name a few.

APDA CT Webinar Series
 
Laughter Yoga

Laughter is good for you. It can relieve stress, release endorphins, and help you to relax.  It may actually improve your immune system and relieve pain. A 2016 study on Laughter Yoga and Parkinson’s found statistically significant improvements in well-being for adults with PD and their care partners after attending a Laughter Yoga session. Anyone can do it. And there are no side effects! When you pretend laughter, you get the same benefits as actually laughing and before you know it, you are laughing naturally.  Join Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher and Trainer Rob Rivest on Zoom for an eight- week series of Laughter Yoga classes.

Starts Thursday, September 17 at 10 a.m. for eight-week series of once a week meetings. Register here
