This 4 week series is for anyone looking to maintain or improve their bone health. Classes will focus on increasing strength, improving posture and developing better balance, aiding in the prevention of falls and fractures.

 

We will practice the 12 primary poses identified by Dr Loren Fishman to raise bone mineral density, helping to prevent or reverse osteopenia and osteoporosis. Time will be taken to ensure proper alignment and to reach peak engagement as poses are held for up to a minute. Modifications will be offered through the use of blocks, straps and chairs. Each class will start with a brief meditation and breath work and end with a restorative savasana.

 

Karen is a 200 hour registered yoga teacher specializing in restorative yoga. She recently had the opportunity to study with Dr Fishman in person and completed his Yoga vs Osteoporosis 20 hour course.

Take a moment for yourself and surrender to the splendor of a truly restorative yoga experience. From the moment you walk in the door, you will be deeply cared for. Enjoy the restful and rejuvenating benefits of restorative yoga as you are lovingly placed into a few fully-supported simple postures. Through the use of blankets, bolsters and other props, you will come into stillness and ease. Embark on an inward journey and allow yourself to just be. As the tension dissolves and the sweetness comes forth, you will experience a deep sense of well-being that will stay with you long after you leave the mat.

 

No yoga experience is necessary to benefit from this beautiful practice, just the ability to get down to and up from a mat on the floor. We’ll do the rest.
