Do you suffer from osteoporosis or osteopenia? 

Osteoporosis or Osteopenia occur when the creation of new bone does not keep up with the loss of old bone. This condition causes bones to become weak and brittle over time depending on the severity of the bone loss to the extent that even coughing or folding forward can cause a fracture.

Typically, there are no symptoms in the beginning stages of Osteoporosis or Osteopenia, but over time as bone losses worsen, you may experience symptoms such as a hunched or stooped posture when standing, back pain or discomfort, loss of height, and fragile bones that break easily. This is where yoga comes in!

A well-designed yoga program can help with proper posture which is crucial to prevent the heavy load of gravity from putting too much pressure on the vertebrae which are already vulnerable to load and stress. 

This program will be specifically designed for those individuals who have Osteoporosis or Osteopenia so they will feel more comfortable participating in a yoga program. You will learn:

  • proper sitting and standing postural positions 
  • modifications to help protect the spine
  • poses to avoid or modify
  • nutritional tips and guidelines on the best diet and nutrition for strong and healthy bones

What’s included in the program: 

  • daily emails and prompts
  • 2 full length yoga videos
  • printable PDFs with tips and advice 
  • a FB page for addressing questions and concerns

Are you avoiding taking yoga classes because you are not sure how to take care of your spine in a class? Or are you aware that certain postural dysfunction, such as sitting or standing with too much forward flexion in your spine, can potentially raise your risk of fractures? If you would like the answers to these questions and more, join Jay MacDonald and Sara Lewis for this incredible virtual program full of great tips and information on keeping your bones healthy and strong!
