If you have increased fracture risk due to bone loss, you can use yoga as part of your integrated program to prevent falls and fractures. A ten-year study of 741 participants doing a specific series of yoga postures resulted in increased bone density.

We will practice this series, plus learn about other important activities to build bone density in this workshop, which includes lecture/discussion, and observation.
