Gentle Yoga for Osteoporosis

Utilize the Gentle Benefits of Yoga to Relieve the Pain and Stress of Your Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is responsible for an estimated 1.5 million fractures each year and is characterized by a weakening of the bones. Although bone density naturally begins to decrease at the age of 35, it is never too late to adopt a healthy lifestyle—and yoga can become an integral part of improving your overall health and well-being.

Gentle Yoga for Osteoporosis shows you how to integrate yoga into your exercise routine to promote bone health. Because yoga is low-impact and is easily modified to your own needs and abilities, you can safely and effectively reap the benefits of exercise by stimulating bone growth and strengthening muscles.
