Wednesday mornings, 10:50am – Noon
Yoga is among the most effective exercises for improving spine, bone, and joint health. This class begins with a 25-minute joint care practice that can be done seated in a chair or on the floor. This is followed by 35-minutes of strengthening and stabilizing practices for joints, bones, core, and back, including a number of balance poses. The strengthening portion of the class is mostly done in a standing position, with a few poses on all-fours and prone (lying on the belly). Modified poses will be offered to accommodate your body’s needs. Participants have the option to incorporate light dumbbells during some of the standing poses. These exercises can also be performed without added weight while still building plenty of strengthening benefit.
Over time in the class you will learn:
- exercises for maintaining spinal health, building bone density, stabilizing and lubricating joints, and reducing pain and inflammation
- how to reduce wear-and-tear on your spine, bones, and joints
- how to modify movements in yoga, fitness routines, and in daily life to protect your spine, prevent osteoporosis-related fractures, and reduce joint-inflammation
- techniques to improve balance and to reduce the risk of falls
