Dear Kamakshya,
Yoga is found to be beneficial in Parkinson's. You could refer the following link.

Best Yoga module can be prepared by matching clinical features of this with Yoga practices
For eg: For motor symptoms like tremor- Sukshma Vyayama; Postural imbalance: Balancing postures
Non motor symptoms like depression: evidence indicates back bending postures, fast breathing exercises, sukshma and stuula vyayama would be useful
Insomnia: DRT/Yoga nidra but if depression present (Duration not more than 15 minutes)
Yogic councelling is must in addition
I hope this would be useful

Thankfully
Parkinson's disease is primarily a VATA disorder , with excess trapped Vayu being pushed into the Majja Dhatu/nervous system. (could be secondary Pitta vitiation component in certain cases)
the best Yogic postures would be Vata pacifying, to expel and eliminate the trapped Vata in the nadi's / shrotas, ( for examplePawan -Muktasana series) along with simple, basic pranayama techniques like anulom-viloma, bhramari etc.
Ayurveda offers several great herbals and other treatments for it.
up to some extend , after looking to the condition of the person, specially age,
Sukshma vyayam of hands wrists, arms and shoulders, Suryabhedan pranayama, Bhramari pranayama, Om recitation and dhyan will certainly help.
