Bone Health Yoga
Our Bone Health Yoga classes are designed for anyone who wants to build strength, stability, and confidence in their body — whether you are maintaining healthy bones, living with osteopenia, or managing osteoporosis. These sessions combine the wisdom of traditional yoga with a focus on safe, supportive movements that nourish your whole being.
What You’ll Experience in Class
Each class is thoughtfully structured to help you feel stronger, steadier, and more at home in your body. Together we will explore:
-
Strength-building poses – adapted traditional yoga postures to gently load muscles and bones, encouraging resilience.
-
Balance practices – to reduce fall risk, improve coordination, and boost confidence in everyday movement.
-
Mobility work – keeping joints supple, encouraging freedom of movement, and reducing stiffness.
-
Posture awareness – learning safe alignment to support the spine and prevent strain, essential for bone health.
-
Breathwork (pranayama) – calming the nervous system, increasing oxygen flow, and supporting core stability.
-
Grounding techniques – to connect body and mind, reduce stress, and cultivate presence.
Why It Matters Beyond Bone Health Classes
While these classes are designed to be osteopenia- and osteoporosis-safe, their benefits extend far beyond your bones:
-
Strength and muscle tone protect joints and improve metabolism.
-
Balance and coordination support independence and reduce the risk of injury.
-
Mobility and posture enhance circulation, digestion, and overall vitality.
-
Breathwork and relaxation calm the mind, improve sleep, and support emotional wellbeing.
-
Grounding practices help you feel more connected, centred, and resilient in daily life.
A Class for Every Stage of Life
Whether you’re proactively supporting bone health in your 40s and beyond, or you’ve already been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, these classes will meet you where you are. Each session is guided with care, modifications, and a focus on safety, so you can move with confidence and ease.
