Wednesday mornings, 11am – 12:10
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 a cushion. Joint care practice is followed by 35-minutes of strengthening and stabilizing practices for joints, bones, core, and back, including a number of poses for improving balance. 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 if getting down on the floor is a challenge for you. Participants have the option to incorporate light dumbbells during some of the standing poses; these exercises can also be performed without added weights to build bone density and muscle mass.
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
