Relieving Ostoeporosis with Paula Gardner
TBA  

Learn how yoga can increase your bone density with weight bearing asanas. Opposing one muscle group to another over relatively long periods of time, proves to be an excellent stimulus of this type of bone reinforcement. Since you are controlling the degree of intensity, it can be carefully controlled to produce forces that are great enough to stimulate bone strengthening, but not to damage the very bones one is trying to reinforce. Discover ways to combat the stress that compromises the neuroendocrine and immune systems. A specific sequence for relieving osteoporosis will be taught as well as breathing and relaxation techniques. If you have osteoporosis and are new to yoga, please get your Dr.'s permission to participate in this workshop.
