Discover how Yoga asana (posture) 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 the regular practice of 12 Yoga poses. Yoga asana also improves your balance, posture, strength, range of motion, and coordination, greatly reducing the risk of fracture.

Yoga for Strong Bones Part 1 – Self-Paced course, will offer complete instruction in the 12 Yoga poses for osteoporosis that was taught in the first Yoga vs. osteoporosis study. The foundation poses are taught at 3 levels with guidance for adapting each pose to your level. Instructions include how to progress safely in the practice at home. There will be guided relaxation practices included in every class to reduce stress and allow the benefits of the poses to be fully assimilated.

In addition to the 7 hours of instruction, you will have access to the following online classes to help maintain a regular home practice:

• Complete 60-min daily Hatha Yoga practice which includes the 12 osteo poses
• Short 20-minute practice of the 12 osteo poses
• Guided deep relaxation with pranayama (breathing practices)
• Full-color photo handouts of the 3 levels of each pose: to download

You will also have access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.

Testimonials

Satya presented the information very clearly and thoroughly. I always understood what she was saying and where she was going. I enjoyed doing all the asanas and appreciated that there were relaxation and recovery periods so I did not experience any stiffness. I will definitely take more workshops with Satya. — Past Program Participant

Satya Greenstone is highly knowledgeable and experienced in all realms of Yoga and Yoga instruction. She is also compassionate, sensitive and encouraging so that her teaching inspires continued practice and curiosity regarding Yoga and personal health. — Leonora Weimer

As a long-time IYI practitioner and teacher who was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis, I highly recommend this course. Satya is very knowledgeable and presents the information very clearly. I feel more confident to do my own practice safely and to teach others who may also have osteoporosis. Great course! — Katherine M. Kalliel
