Strong bones start on the mat: Yoga for Osteoporosis

Strong bones start on the mat: Yoga for Osteoporosis

Bone health isn’t something we think about until we’re told to.
And if you’re anything like most people, that moment often comes with a bit of concern, maybe even fear — a scan report, a diagnosis, or just an awareness that we’re not as strong and steady as we once were.

I created this gentle yoga for osteoporosis class to meet you exactly where you are,

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, or you’re simply interested in preventing bone loss as you age, this practice is designed to help you strengthen without strain.


How Does Yoga Help With Osteoporosis?

  • Weight-bearing postures like Warrior II, Tree Pose, and Triangle apply just enough stress to the bones to stimulate osteoblast activity — the cells responsible for building bone.

  • Muscle strengthening helps support joints and reduce the likelihood of fractures.

  • Balance work improves coordination and reduces fall risk, a key issue in osteoporosis management.

  • And let’s not forget the role of yoga in hormonal regulation and reducing inflammation — both of which contribute to better bone health over time.


What’s in This Practice?

This class includes a carefully chosen sequence of asanas that are safe, effective, and adaptable.
Here are some highlights:

  • Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) – Improve balance and leg strength

  • Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) – Strengthen the spine and hips

  • Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) – Strengthen the lower back and glutes

  • Supta Padangusthasana and Reclining Pigeon – Open and support the hips

  • Sarpasana (Snake Pose) – Gently activate the back and support the spine

  • Child’s Pose & Gentle Spinal Twists – Relax and release safely

You’ll also find variations for different mobility levels, so you can modify based on what your body needs today.
