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

overall well-being.

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.
