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 is a silent disease, so prevention is essential to prevent fractures.
Whether you’re living with osteoporosis or want to learn how to protect an aging spine, this experiential workshop will offer valuable insights for both students and teachers alike. Learn what postures to avoid and how you can modify the postures to gain the same benefits and target, while being safe for your bones. We’ll explore safe and empowering ways to practice and teach yoga for osteoporosis, focusing on strength, resilience, and mindful movement. In-person space is limited - reserve your spot today!
This workshop is perfect for students and teachers with or without osteoporosis. Movement and yoga teachers will gain invaluable information and experience. This workshop is certified through IAYT and Yoga Alliance for 4 CEUs for certified yoga therapists and registered yoga teachers.
