Strengthen Bones with Yoga & Diet

October 6, 2017 by Julie Lusk

Good to the Bone  is a Yoga Journal article about using yoga and diet to help with the prevention and treatment of bone loss (osteopenia – osteoporosis).  The article describes the yoga postures listed in the table below that increased bone strength in 85% of the study participants with a 10-minute sequence that was practiced for a 2-year period.  Each posture was held for only 20-30 seconds each. The article, Good to the Bone, is worth the read.  Here is the pilot study detailed in the article.

The Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Regimen Reverses Bone Loss  is the full study that was published in Topics of Geriatric Rehabilitation, a peer-reviewed journal.  It followed 741 patients over a 10 year period.  It showed that yoga improved bone mineral density (BMD) in every-two-year follow-up study that followed.  Impressive, eh?  Watch the video below to get instructions on what to do along with more info on Dr Fishman’s book and CD.  Dr Fishman teaches a weekly zoom class where he teaches the 3 sequences for reversing bone loss.  It’s worth registering for.

The posture sequence below flows nicely and incorporates the recommended postures in the pilot study. It’s very important to practice a  combination of balancing postures and ones to strengthen bones and muscles.  The sequence can also be done in reverse order, beginning with the standing poses, ending lying down in the supine poses and Shavasana.    As always, remember to b-r-e-a-t-h-e fully and completely, slowly and deeply.  Get all the details here.

Here’s the perfect way to get exercise, gain flexibility, add strength, and relieve stress.

Alignment is emphasized to feel steady, supple and strong.
