modifications for each pose while building strength, balance,
flexibility, and posture. These weight-bearing and isometric
exercises are designed to support healthy bones, improve
stability, and reduce the risk of falls. Whether you have
osteopenia, osteoporosis, or simply want to build stronger
bones, this evidence-informed practice offers a safe and
effective way to enhance your strength, confidence, and

Key Bone Health Facts
• Peak Bone Mass: Most peak bone mass is formed by
the late teens to early 30s, meaning early habits heavily
influence lifelong skeletal strength.
• The Silent Disease: Osteoporosis is often called a
"silent disease" because bones weaken without symptoms
until a sudden fracture occurs from a minor fall or movement.
• Affected Populations: It impacts tens of millions of
people—including both men and women—though
postmenopausal women face a significantly higher risk due to
declining estrogen levels.
Fact: There are two types of exercises that are important
for building and maintaining bone density: weight-
bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises.
YOGA SAFELY COMBINES BOTH.
