Imagine the possibilities of combining voice therapy and yoga in individual or group therapy sessions. 
Both typical voice therapy and yoga (specifically vinyasa yoga) have individually been proven to benefit overall health and quality of life. These techniques will be presented separately then it will be explained how to combine them in a session specifically for people with voice disorders and Parkinson’s disease. This hands-on presentation will allow participants to experience how Speech Language Pathologists can use aspects of Vocal Yoga, to improve the voices of people with voice disorders and Parkinson’s disease.
