Yoga for Strong, Healthy Bones

Discover how Yoga asanas can help to build and maintain strong bones.
A 10 year study by Dr. L. 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 workshop will include:

• Complete instruction and practice of Dr. Fishman’s 12 poses for bone strength and health
• Guided relaxation for assimilating the benefits of the poses
• Restorative Yoga practices for stress reduction
• Principles of yogic diet that support overall health and strength
• Balanced Integral Yoga lifestyle and practices for health and happiness

Take home tools and confidence to continue a safe, effective Yoga practice for health and strength.
