Yoga for Strong, Healthy Bones – Online

Discover how Yoga asanas can help to build and maintain strong bones.

A 10-year study by Dr. Loren Fishman demonstrated an increase in bone mineral density and improved bone quality with regular practice of 12 Yoga poses. Yoga asanas also improve your balance, posture, strength, range of motion, and coordination, greatly reducing the risk of fracture.

This online workshop will include:

• Complete instruction in the 12 Yoga poses for osteoporosis
• Guidance in adapting the poses to your level
• Instructions on how to progress safely in the practice
• Guided relaxation for assimilating the benefits of the poses and reducing stress
• Guidelines for daily practice at home

Live sessions with Satya on Saturday at 9 am–12 pm and 2–4 pm and on Sunday at 9–11 am EDT.

In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm, recorded Ashram meditations, and inspiring talk with Sri Swami Satchidananda. You will also have access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.

• Video of a complete Hatha Yoga practice that includes the 12 osteo poses
• Video of the 12 osteo poses
