Yoga for Osteoporosis

"Yoga for Osteoporosis, Osteopenia or Preventive Yoga" was developed by Loren Fishman, MD. This method teaches a safe, comfortable, yoga practice…modified for the needs of each individual‘s body. Dr Fishman's 2-year scientific study showed that these 12 poses, done at home in just minutes a day, produced an 80% improvement in bone density scores compared to the non-yoga group. That is good news! Science has also proven numerous other health benefits gained from daily yoga practice.

YOGAGE offers a course based on Dr. Fishman’s research.

Goals of the Course: Develop a daily yoga practice at home to improve bone density.

The course consists of two private sessions*.

1. First session: 90 minute Teaching class. Cost $75. (Includes photos of student holding each pose for home practice - digital format only.)
    ~The completed Health Form must be returned before class. Those with a medical diagnosis of Osteopenia or Osteoporosis must include a copy of your Bone Density Report.
    ~The student’s goal is to learn the 12 poses, modified for each individual.
    ~The teacher’s goal is to teach the 12 poses, evaluate the student's needs, and customize a home daily yoga plan.

2. Second session: 60 minute Follow-up class. Cost $50.
~This session is a teacher's review of the student's practice, with the goal of providing feedback to correct student's postures as needed.

*Further training beyond the 2 initial sessions may be required to develop your personal daily home yoga practice in order to achieve bone density improvement. Additional classes for continued training cost $50/hour.
