Osteoporosis is widespread in the US, affecting men as well as women. We will explore some of the myths regarding bone loss and the research-based evidence supporting self-care and lifestyle actions to help maintain bone health.

Through a mix of lecture, discussion, and yoga-based movement, students will learn about:
Bone physiology
Bone density and bone strength
Risk factors associated with low bone density and fracture incidence
Safe movement for balance and strong bones
Nutritional factors that impact bone strength
Eating for healthy bones
Managing stress through yoga and lifestyle

Students will leave with an easily implemented personal action plan to support life-long healthy bones.

Partial scholarships are available for those with financial need.
