$25.00 Yoga for Arthritis and Osteoporosis 1/22
$25.00 Yoga for Arthritis and Osteoporosis 01/14/23
Appropriate for all levels; previous yoga experience not required.
This workshop will be hybrid, participate in person (for those who are vaccinated) or live-streamed via Zoom.
Seasonal change can be hard on a body, especially if one has arthritis or osteoporosis.
Arthritis affects the joints while osteoporosis affects the bones, but because joints are composed
of the spaces where bones meet, most folks with either condition, or both, may experience
tightness, soreness, stiffness, and movement limitations at this time of the year.
If this is you, please come explore ways to mitigate the pain and soreness by opening up space in the joints and creating ease in the body.
In this workshop, we'll explore new poses, adapt traditional poses, and explore breathing and relaxation techniques beneficial to joints and bones.
Includes a handout of poses and approaches covered. This training counts as 2.0 CEUs with Yoga Alliance
