Are you looking for a natural and evidence-based way to support and improve your bone density? Join us for a 6-week therapeutic yoga series designed specifically to build and maintain strong, healthy bones. This series, led by a certified yoga therapist, is perfect for anyone looking to proactively care for their bone health, regardless of current fitness level or experience with yoga.
Throughout these specialized classes, we'll explore a variety of evidence-based yoga postures to stimulate bone growth and improve balance. Each week will build on the next, holding postures for progressive strengthening of muscles and loading of the bones. As a therapeutic class, we will focus on weight-bearing poses and postural alignment to strengthen key areas prone to bone loss, such as the spine and hips. The therapeutic approach ensures personalized attention and modifications to address individual needs and concerns.
In this series, you will:
* Learn specific yoga poses: We will break down and practice effective postures that promote bone density, including standing and seated postures. Modifications and props will be used to accommodate all levels and physical limitations.
* Improve balance and coordination: Enhance your stability and reduce the risk of falls with targeted exercises and proprioceptive work.
* Home practice: Learn simple posture sequences that you can practice at home, to maximize the benefits.
* Cultivate body awareness: Develop a deeper understanding of your body and how to move safely and effectively with personalized guidance from a yoga therapist.
* Receive individualized attention: Benefit from the expertise of a yoga therapist who can address specific concerns and tailor the practice to your needs.
* Enjoy a supportive community: Connect with others on a similar journey to better bone health in a welcoming and empowering environment.
This series is suitable for:
* Individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
* Those looking to prevent or manage osteoporosis or osteopenia.
* Anyone seeking a holistic and therapeutic approach to bone health.
* Beginners and experienced yogis alike.
* Individuals who cannot get up and down off the floor.
* Individuals with physical limitations or injuries (modifications will be provided).
No prior yoga experience is necessary. The therapeutic approach ensures that everyone can participate safely and effectively.
