Bone Strength, Osteoporosis, & Yoga: An Evidence-Based Approach
A Yoga Continuing Education Course
Although the theme of this 90-minute course is osteoporosis, the information presented here is relevant for anyone with a body! Using the tools of biomechanics and tissue adaption science, we look at what loading parameters are needed to stimulate bones to grow stronger, and where a yoga asana practice fits into that picture. We also look at the condition of osteoporosis specifically, what it means, how it might impact you or your yoga students, and evidence-based recommendations for preventing and treating it.
Use these insights to cut through all of the claims we hear about osteoporosis and bone health in the yoga world so that you can ascertain which claims are good information and which claims are misinformation. If knowledge is power, this course will help us become more empowered, intentional yoga teachers and practitioners!
Note the optional quiz you are welcome to take for certification that you have completed and comprehended this course.
