Yoga for Osteoporosis is a gentle form of yoga that is practised carefully, standing, sitting or using a chair for support.
This short course will introduce you to simple movements that will help to stimulate bone building, improve strength, flexibility, mobility and coordination. It will help also with reducing stress and managing pain. Relaxation techniques promote being calmer and more relaxed which inevitably leads to a greater feeling of happiness and well-being - all important for adults with osteoporosis.
Your 'approach' to yoga and 'how' you practise will also help you to develop an increased level of awareness, which in turn will lead to practising with an increased attentiveness to your body - getting to know yourself by listening to your body's feedback and responding appropriately.
The course is suitable for all ages, for beginners and those who already practise yoga. Each week there is a simple, step by step guided practice where we work on a variety of postures which are adapted and modified. The practices and techniques include slow, gentle, straightforward movements; breathing techniques and relaxation.

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?
Check with your doctor before joining the course to make sure it's suitable for you. It is important that you practise at a pace that is appropriate for your needs. If you feel that the class is too strong, please speak to Caroline Arthur and she will advise on how to modify & adapt the practice further. It is important to listen to your body and not to ignore painful warning signs and to observe instructions on safety or technique at all times. If you experience any pain during or after the class, please inform your teacher straight away.
