The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the effectiveness of three preventive interventions - yoga, arts-based approaches, and somatic practices, with reference to an active control group - traditional exercises, in enhancing psycho-social-spiritual well-being among people at risk of Parkinson\'s disease (Parkivers). The hypotheses include: H1: Yoga, arts-based, somatic interventions will significantly improve the psycho-social- spiritual wellbeing (i.e., perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and quality of life) among Parkivers H2: In comparison to traditional exercise, yoga, arts-based, and somatic interventions will have a significant effect on psycho-social-spiritual well-being among Parkivers H3: Yoga, arts-based, somatic, and traditional exercise training interventions will have a significant effect in reducing PD-related motor symptoms H4: Yoga, arts-based, somatic interventions have a significant long-term effect on improving psycho-social-spiritual well-being among Parkivers Eligible participants will be invited to undergo baseline assessments before randomization to attend a six-session intervention group. To investigate the immediate and long-term effect of the preventive measures, repeated outcome measures will be conducted at six time-points: A baseline assessment prior to randomization (T0), and follow-ups at 2-months (T1), 6-months (T2), 12-months (T3), 18- months (T4), 24-months (T5).
