YOGA FOR OSTEOPOROSIS

Learn how gentle yoga poses improve bone strength, balance, and flexibility for osteoporosis management.

UNDERSTANDING OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis weakens bones, increasing fracture risk. Age, gender, lifestyle, and family history affect who develops it.

DAILY LIFE CHALLENGES

Osteoporosis affects mobility and independence. Simple tasks like bending or lifting can become risky, requiring lifestyle adjustments.

YOGA AND BONE DENSITY

Weight-bearing yoga poses strengthen bones. Gentle postures like Mountain and Warrior improve bone density and balance safely.

BENEFITS OF YOGA FOR OSTEOPOROSIS

Yoga enhances balance, flexibility, posture, and muscle strength, reducing fall risk and improving overall bone health.

TYPES OF YOGA TO CHOOSE

Gentle styles like Hatha, Iyengar, and Restorative are safest. Fast-paced or hot yoga may increase fracture risk.

YOGA POSES TO AVOID

Avoid deep forward bends, extreme twists, and high-impact moves. Modify poses with props to protect bones and prevent injuries.

STARTING YOUR YOGA PRACTICE

Use qualified instructors and proper props. Start slowly at home or studio, practicing 2-3 times a week for optimal bone health.

HOLISTIC BENEFITS OF YOGA

After treatment, monitoring growth, organ health, and learning is vital. Regular check-ups help children thrive as cancer survivors.
