Yoga for Healthy Bones
6-Week Series –
2022 Dates coming soon
Bones are dynamic living tissue that are continually building, shifting, breaking down and rebuilding in response to physical stimulus and our mental/emotional states. Osteoporosis, literally porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and a deterioration of the architecture of bone tissue.
Yoga, when practiced with awareness, provides a positive stress that stimulates bone remodeling and improves the absorption of calcium. Join Certified Iyengar teacher, Kerry Doyle for this series designed to inform and increase your awareness and promote bone health.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation
About 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis.
Studies suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
10 years following menopause research shows that women have lost over 30 percent of their bone mass.
Learn the Science. Practice the poses.
