Join us at Garden of Zen for this 5-session series on Bone Health!
Have you been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis?
Would you like to get stronger?
Are you concerned about falling?
Are you young, and want to reduce the risk of bone loss?
Do you want to explore the kind of yoga that is proven to build bone?
Yoga for Bone Health is a targeted practice developed by Dr. Loren Fishman, MD. It is designed to maintain a healthy skeleton, strengthen posture, and improve balance. In this series you will be guided through all 3 variations of 11 asanas/poses and discover which variation is safe but effective for you. The 12th pose is savasana (resting pose).
Yoga has been shown in peer-reviewed publications to reverse osteoporosis and osteopenia. The study results show that practicing this yoga regimen daily can reverse osteoporotic bone loss as it has for Nancy, certified in Dr. Fishman's Method for Osteoporosis.
Participants should be able to move to the floor and back up without assistance. Participants should have 2 blocks, strap, and a blanket to use for home practice. Garden of Zen has a limited supply available for purchase, if needed.
