Osteoporosis and Yoga Benefits & Safety

Osteoporosis affects 24 million Americans. The most common injury related to osteoporosis is bone fracture, which is especially common in the spine and hips. According to Duke Integrative Medicine, some yoga poses may be risky for aging adults, who are more likely to have osteoporosis. Poses that put too much strain on the front of the middle and lower spine, such as seated or standing forward bends to reach the toes, may increase the risk of fractures in the spine.

The body is designed to move

The neuromusculoskeletal system allows us to move throughout our day for extended periods of time (think: walking, house chores, exercise).  It also allows us to be stationary and relatively still for prolonged bouts of during the day (think: sleeping at night, sitting at a desk for work).  The amount of movement available depends on individual anatomy (skeletal variations, muscle anatomy, fascia mobility) lifestyle, and experiences.

Mindful movement and yoga uses mindfulness techniques to teach students to adapt yoga poses to their body promoting increased elasticity, strength, balance, decreased reactivity, and sense of wellbeing.

This mindful practice promotes great insights as to how we hold tension, move (or do not move) our bodies, and how we relate to the sensations in the body.

This workshop teaches the technique of Yin Pranayama. The techniques integrates Chakra and Yoga Theory with a Yin approach (calm, free, soft, anchored in the spine). These will assist you in advancing different levels of awareness and understanding of current states of mind and body to become more calm, healthy, clear and alive.

Yoga is good for your balance, bones, flexibility, brain and more. But some yoga postures and movements are associated with risks for those with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis happens when bones lose their quality and density, and this can increase their chances of breaking.

Attend this 4-hour workshop taught by SAM Sather, a certified yoga therapist and RN, to learn how to practice or teach yoga for those at risk for fractures from osteoporosis.
