Did you know that yoga can help strengthen your bones? Research by Dr. Loren Fishman shows that practicing 12 specific yoga poses can improve bone density and quality, helping prevent fractures and support bone health at any age. Yoga also enhances balance, posture, and coordination, reducing the risk of falls.

In this monthly workshop, we will cover the basics of the bone-building process, followed by guided instructions for practicing the 12 poses. Integrated within a traditional Integral Yoga structure—including warm-ups, asanas, guided relaxation, pranayama, and a brief meditation—this class supports bone health, posture, balance, and coordination for people of all ages.

All levels are welcome. Modifications will be offered for standing, chair-based, and wall-supported variations so you can practice safely and effectively.

Recommended props: Yoga mat, chair (without arms), strap, block, wall access, and a thick towel or blanket.

Please note: If you have any medical conditions—including fractures, spinal issues, or joint replacements (especially hips or knees)—please consult your healthcare provider before starting this. This class offers modifications, but it is not a substitute for medical guidance.

This program will not be recorded.
