Wednesdays 11am – 12:10pm EST
Yoga is among the most effective exercises for improving spine, bone, and joint health. This class begins with a 25-minute seated joint care practice that can be done on a chair or a cushion. Joint care is followed by 35-minutes of strengthening and stabilizing exercises for joints, bones, core, and back, including a number of poses for improving balance. The strengthening exercises are done in standing, prone, supine, and all-fours positions. Modified poses will be offered to accommodate your body’s needs. Participants have the option to incorporate light dumbbells during some of the strengthening poses; these exercises can also be performed without added weight to build bone density and muscle mass.
Over time in this 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
