Over 10 million Americans are estimated to have osteoporosis and 34 million more have low bone mass. Despite myths that it is an “older woman’s” condition, it affects men and women young and old. In fact, the seeds of this condition begin in our youth. In this class, we will integrate yoga, Pilates and therapeutic bone strengthening techniques that will not only encourage improvements in bone density but will also support better posture, balance, strength and flexibility while reducing stress and strain on the body and mind. If you have bones in your body, this class can benefit you. This class is safe for those with osteopenia and osteoporosis. In this class, movements and poses will be offered using a chair, standing, and lying down on the floor.
