Yoga Instructor and Physical Therapist Margaret Martin presents Hatha Yoga for Osteoporosis • Athletic Routine — a Hatha Yoga routine designed for individuals with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or low bone density.
The routine is perfect for experienced Hatha Yoga practitioners and Yoga instructors who teach older adults or individuals with osteoporosis.
The Athletic routine is perfect for anyone who is able to exercise at an Athletic strength and balance level, and is an experienced Hatha Yoga practitioner.
The routine is wonderful for individuals concerned about the health of their spine from a disc, bone or joint perspective. You can rest at ease knowing the routines are safe for you.
The Athletic Routine incorporates more balance and strengthening poses than the Active Routine.
Safely flow through poses with perfect alignment.
This routine is designed with bone and joint health in mind so that you do not have to worry about your osteoporosis, osteopenia or low bone density.
All the key elements are covered: balance, back and hip muscle strength, and weight bearing through your hips and wrists. We increase the intensity as the routine progresses.
At the end of your routine, you get to enjoy a relaxing (and much deserved) Shavasana pose.
