Discover how Yoga asana 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 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, Healthy Bones Part 2 is a series of 4 weekly online classes focusing on variety and challenge. This series is open to anyone who has completed Yoga for Strong Healthy Bones Part 1 or its equivalent. Each class will include additional poses for building strong, healthy bones. These poses will add variety and challenge to your daily practice. Full instruction will be offered on how to select and sequence poses in your personal daily practice. Guidelines will be given for maintaining a balanced, safe practice that meets your individual needs and goals. The group support and practice will refresh, invigorate, and inspire your continued practice of Yoga for strong bones.

Testimonials

Yoga for strong bones is truly one of the best classes I’ve taken in a long time. Satya is not only knowledgeable but a clear, concise speaker; humorous and humble. She demonstrated poses at all levels of accessibility. I highly recommend her and this class. — Clarissa Riely

A clear, concise course for incorporating Yoga into managing and reducing your osteoporosis risks. — Vicki Langdon

Satya is a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher who will tend to everyone in the program. She will answer everyone’s questions, concerns, and validate comments. She makes sure that everyone is comfortable and encourages that throughout the program, to tune in and to focus inward, to use enough effort and challenge but to be mindful. I would seriously recommend it to people who suffer from osteoporosis, osteopenia, and instructors working with that population and for their overall knowledge. She is friendly, has a sense of humor, and will share what she knows as a Yoga teacher, and as she said, “I am not a doctor, a nutritionist, a scientist, but a Yoga instructor, and will share what I know.” — Myrena (Mridani) Sint Jago-Sherrod
