If you’ve broken a bone or you have low bone density, you may not think yoga is for you… well, think again! 

Yoga does three things to your body no other exercise does — and that makes it the perfect exercise for low bone density. (More on this in a moment!) 

In fact, leading yoga for osteoporosis expert, Dr. Loren Fishman, has spent years perfecting a method to safely improve bone health through yoga. It’s a method he’s put to the test in two exciting clinical studies. Both of which showed that you can get great results by practicing 12 simple yoga poses a day… 

And now, you can try these 12 yoga poses from the comfort of your own home! Yes, I’ve put together three new videos demonstrating all 12 poses. Each video showcases a different variation of the pose, so folks of all physical ability can benefit.

But first, let’s take a look at how yoga can help you stay strong, flexible, and pain-free…

Why Yoga is the Ideal Form of Exercise for Older Adults

When you apply force to bones, it stimulates them to grow stronger — a premise known as Wolff’s law. 

Wolff’s law states that, “bone is formed and strengthens along lines of mechanical stress.” It also describes how the greater the forces applied to a bone, the greater the bone-building at the point of stress. (Bear these two points in mind, as we delve into the unique benefits of yoga.) 

So it’s clear why experts recommend high-impact, weight-bearing exercise to stave off bone loss. Simple enough, right? Unfortunately, it’s a little more complicated than that. You need to consider your joints, and the length of time you’re activating your muscles for too… 

I recently had the pleasure of discussing this topic with Dr. Fishman himself when I traveled to Portland for his Yoga vs. Osteoporosis training! Click on the video below to hear his take on the benefits of yoga for your joints, and how long to hold a yoga pose for:

So high-impact exercise can do more harm than good by aggravating your joints and causing inflammation. But yoga provides a solution.

According to Dr. Fishman, yoga’s gentle, low-impact movements are ideal for those with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. These movements help distribute synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints and keeps them moving smoothly. (Synovial fluid is a thick liquid found in all your joints.) 

And in terms of your bone health, there are three main reasons yoga is an excellent choice… (Yes, the length of time you hold poses for is one!)

3 Reasons Yoga Can Strengthen Your Bones

Yoga may be a slow and often stationary practice, but don’t be deceived by appearances. In yoga, your body is working incredibly hard. In fact, if practiced correctly, yoga can help keep your bones strong and healthy. 

Here’s how: 

  1. Yoga puts unusual force on bones, which other exercises don’t.

    “By unusual, I mean two things:,” says Dr. Fishman.

    First, yoga doesn’t just put force on one part of your body. If you play tennis, your racket arm may be especially strong. If you jog, your legs gain the most benefit. But the different positions in yoga accomplish the impressive task of engaging muscles and bones throughout your entire body.  Second, yoga stresses bones at practically every angle. Yoga positions, or asanas, oppose one group of muscles against another and stimulate muscle-to-bone attachments. These forces signal mechanosensor cells (cells that respond to changes in mechanical force) in your body called osteocytes. Then, your osteocytes tell your osteoblasts (the specialized cells that build bone) it’s time to get to work!
  2. In yoga, you hold poses for an extended period of time.

    As mentioned in the video above, the length of time you hold yoga poses for is key. Often, yoga poses are held for several seconds. This isn’t something you do in many other forms of exercise…

    And research shows that levels of bone-building markers increase in as little as 12 seconds of subjecting bone to stress! So yoga stimulates bone-building due to the length of time you spend holding poses — which places your bones and muscles under continual stress.
  3. Practicing yoga causes your body to release a powerful anti-inflammatory.

    “Exercise causes your body to release something called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1a),” says Dr. Fishman. “That’s a mouthful, I know!”
    Simply put, PGC-1a is a protein that helps your body benefit from exercise. Most notably for those with osteoporosis, PGC-1α is a powerful anti-inflammatory. (Remember, chronic, low-grade inflammation causes bone loss!)  Now, high-impact exercises release PGC-1a just like yoga. But as we’ve seen, high-impact exercise can aggravate your joints and cause inflammation. With yoga, you get all the anti-inflammatory benefits of PGC-1a — without also causing inflammation. It’s basically a win, win for your bones. 
Additional Benefits of Yoga for Osteoporosis

We’ve seen how yoga safely stresses bones without impact, and how the practice supports your bone health! But there are many other benefits that make yoga uniquely well-suited for those with low bone density… 

Yoga can help improve posture, balance, coordination, strength, and mobility — all key benefits for preventing a fall.  

It also promotes a sense of peace and well-being. And as you may know, chronic stress can lead to bone loss. So by relieving stress, yoga indirectly benefits your bone health! 

Finally, yoga is highly accessible. It’s easy to practice from the comfort of your home, and you need very little equipment to do it. 

Have I convinced you yet? Perhaps, you’d like to see some concrete evidence of these benefits? Not to worry, next up Dr. Fishman will tell you about his research himself!


Dr. Fishman’s Research on Yoga and Osteoporosis

For years, Dr. Loren Fishman has been fascinated by yoga’s potential to improve bone health… 

So in 2005, he decided to test his theory by running a pilot study. (A pilot study is a small-scale study to see whether a theory has merit.) And that pilot study led to a large-scale study published in 2016. 

I asked Dr. Fishman about his studies when we met in Portland. Click on the studies below to see his explanation of each:

Dr. Loren Fishman is an Assistant Clinical Professor at Columbia University, and the Medical Director of Manhattan Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in New York City. Dr. Fishman pioneered the use of yoga in medicine and has written several books on the topic, including Yoga for Osteoporosis and Yoga for Osteoarthritis.

Study #1 — Yoga for Osteoporosis: A Pilot Study

My pilot study involved 11 subjects and seven controls with either osteopenia or osteoporosis. These subjects practiced 12 yoga poses daily for two years. At the end of the study, the subjects who practiced yoga had better bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine and hips compared to the controls.

Of course, I couldn’t draw a general conclusion from this small pilot study. But the results were encouraging. So I decided to conduct a much larger study next.”

Study #2 – Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Regimen Reverses Osteoporotic Bone Loss

My next study involved 227 active participants. These participants completed a health history questionnaire and shared the results of a recent DEXA scan. All participants were sent a DVD of the 12 yoga poses from the pilot study along with descriptions of each pose.

These participants were on average 68 years old and 83% of them had either osteopenia or osteoporosis. 

After two years of practicing the 12 poses consistently, participants showed promising results. They reported bone density gains in the spine, hips, and femur.

Curious about the 12 yoga poses performed in these studies? You’re in luck. AlgaeCal put together videos demonstrating all 12 poses! Click here to check them out now.  

What’s more, none of the 227 study participants experienced a fracture or injury related to the practice of yoga. That’s with more than 90,000 hours of yoga practiced largely by people with osteopenia or osteoporosis. So overall, the results of this study support the safety and efficacy of the Fishman Method for those with low bone density.”

Study #3 — New Yoga for Osteoporosis: A Dose Response Study (Ongoing)

“Despite the promising results from these studies, yoga hasn’t gained much traction in the medical community. 

So, I’m conducting another, more robust study to show that properly chosen yoga poses can support strong bones. If you’re interested in participating, click on the following link and scroll down to “New Yoga for Osteoporosis: A Dose Response Study” for more details!”


Before You Start: Yoga Foundations

If you’re new to yoga, it’s a good idea to check in with your medical professional before getting started to make sure it’s suitable for you. I also recommend following along with a qualified instructor to start. That way, you can learn the basics of a safe practice.

For example, I studied how to teach yoga for osteoporosis with Dr. Fishman. (More on this in a moment!) So my videos are a good place to start.

But to give you a quick introduction, here are the basic principles of yoga:

The Basic Principles of Yoga
  • The Breath. Pay special attention to your breath. Breathing smoothly and naturally enhances yoga poses. Holding your breath can cause fatigue and block awareness of your body. In general, inhale when lifting up or arching your back and exhale when settling into a pose or folding forward.
  • The Foundation. Your foundation is the part of your body bearing weight. This is often your feet, hands, or pelvis. The key is to spread your foundation, so that you’re well supported. With your feet, try and use all four corners of each foot in a balanced way. Stretch your toes instead of contracting them. The same concept applies to your hands. 
  • The Curve of the Spine. Your spine has a natural curve that makes it strong. The goal when aligning your spine is to achieve a balance of strength and flexibility. Always bend from as low down in the spine as possible. Tilt your pelvis from the hips, not the waist. This will minimize any rounding of the spine and keep your back safe. 
  • The Balance of Opposites. If you’re new to yoga, you may wonder why poses include actions that are opposite. For example, you may be instructed to press down through your feet and reach up through your arms. This is to create a stable pressure on your bones, which makes poses safer and more effective. 
  • The Knees. In most poses, you’ll want to align your kneecaps to face the same direction as the second toe of the same leg. This can be challenging for some. If that’s the case for you, work toward it gradually. Maintaining this alignment will help protect your knees from dangerous torque. 
  • The Stance. For many poses, your feet will be wide apart. How wide depends on your height, your proportions, and your flexibility. If your stance is too wide, you might feel unstable. Always adjust your stance depending on what feels right for you. Your stance should allow for both freedom of movement and stability.
  • The Full-Body.Every pose will draw your focus to certain areas of your body. While standing, you may feel your legs more. While sitting, you may focus on your spine. This is natural. But try and open your awareness to your whole body in every pose. Maximize your practice by engaging your entire body, rather than focusing on just one area.
A Note on Yoga Equipment

You don’t need much equipment to practice yoga. But there are a couple props I reference in the yoga poses to follow. The good news is, you can easily swap in common household items for most of these props!

Here’s a table outlining basic yoga equipment, and how to make do without:

EquipmentAlternatives
Yoga matA towel, large woven blanket, or carpet that won’t slip
Yoga blockA stack of books wrapped in a towel, one thick book, or a shoebox filled with towels to make it solid
Yoga strapA regular belt, robe tie, men’s tie, or piece of rope
ChairA folding chair, dining room chair, or non-swivel desk chair would work best
WallIf you don’t have an unobstructed wall to use, you may need to clear some space for your practice, or set up in a space like a garage

The Fishman Method: 12 Yoga Poses for Stronger Bones

From years of research and experience in the field, Dr. Fishman developed a method for improving bone health through yoga. 

Recently, I had the pleasure of learning this method directly from Dr. Fishman! I completed his Yoga vs. Osteoporosis training this past November. I’m also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and one of AlgaeCal’s Community Managers. All this to say, I’m well-versed in the intricacies of bone health and the importance of a safe practice. 

So today, I’ll be demonstrating 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis. These are the same poses practiced in both Dr. Fishman’s studies — where participants improved their bone health.

Watch the full yoga regimen by clicking on the video below! You’ll see there are three videos with different variations of the poses:

1: “Osteoporosis Variation” – This class provides the easiest variation of the poses. It’s the orange thumbnail below.

2. “Osteopenia Variation” – This class provides intermediate variations of the poses. It’s the dark green thumbnail below.

3. “Prevention Variation” – This class provides the more challenging variations of the poses. It’s the light green thumbnail below.

You can click on the thumbnail of each video to skip between them. (Note you’ll also find detailed written instructions for each pose next!)


12 Yoga Poses: Step-by-Step Instructions and Tips

Now, there are three variations for most of these yoga poses: Osteoporosis, osteopenia, and prevention. Prevention is the regular version of the pose, commonly performed by those with normal bone density. But don’t take these labels as law!  

In other words, just because you have osteoporosis, doesn’t mean you should do the osteoporosis version, and so on. I say this because the more challenging the pose, the more you stand to gain from it. So if you can do the osteopenia version, or even, the prevention version, go for it! 

That said, it may be a good idea to work your way up depending on your skill level. You may also need to experiment a little to discover what’s right for you. Just remember to start slow, listen to your body, and give each pose your best effort.

To see the different variations for each pose, simply click on the black arrows!

Trikonasana (Triangle pose) — Prevention
Trikonasana (Triangle pose) — Prevention

Benefits: This pose stresses the greater trochanters (part of the upper thigh bone), anterior lumbar and posterior thoracic vertebrae (upper and lower spine), and pubic bones. It helps build stamina, focus, and balance.

Contraindications: If you have any of the following conditions, you may want to avoid this pose: Achilles tendonitis; advanced hip arthritis; knee arthritis; ligamentous knee injuries; newly herniated disc; or pubic fracture. 

Props: You’ll need a yoga mat, a chair and a wall for the osteoporosis variation, and a yoga block and a wall for the osteopenia version.

Tip: The wider your stance, the more freedom you’ll have in the hips. But don’t go so wide as to lose stability! Your knees may want to bend and your upper body will tend to shift forward. Keep your legs straight, your leg muscles firm, and your torso lined up directly above your front leg. 

Common misalignments:  

  1. Beginning with a rounded spine 
  2. Rolling into the inner edge of your back foot (pronation)
  3. Throwing the top arm behind you (essentially rotating the upper arm bone internally)

Prevention variation instructions: 

  1. Step your feet apart so that your ankles line up under your wrists when your arms stretch to the sides. 
  2. Turn your right foot and leg 90 degrees to the right, but don’t turn your torso. Internally rotate your left foot 30 degrees toward the right. Align your right heel with the arch of your left foot. 
  3. Inhale and stretch your arms firmly, pulling your shoulder blades toward your spine. 
  4. Exhale and incline your torso to the right without bending or turning it. Your hips will shift to the left. Touch the floor on the outside of your right foot with your fingertips, or place your hand over your ankle. Rest your left hand on your waist. 
  5. Lengthen out through the spine. Exhale and shift your hips more to the left.
  6. Extend your torso out over your right leg, bending at the hips, not the waist. 
  7. Roll your left shoulder, left ribs, and left waist back and up, remaining steady in your legs. Stretch your left arm straight up toward the ceiling. Turn your head to look up at your left hand. 
  8. Hold for 30 seconds breathing fully and stretching side to side as well as head to tail. 
  9. Inhale as you come back up. You can take a moment here to rest, if you like. 
  10. Repeat on your second side.

  10. Repeat on your other side.

Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) — Prevention
Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) — Prevention

Benefits: This pose stimulates the femur and pelvic bones. It also improves hip mobility, balance, and leg strength.

Contraindications: If you have any of the following conditions, you may want to avoid or adjust this pose: Adductor tear; Achilles tendonitis; anterior cruciate ligament injury;  chondromalacia patellae; plantar fasciitis; or sacroiliac joint derangement. 

Props: A wall, chair, yoga mat, and block. 

Tip: If you’re tall, try using a cushion or block on the chair seat to make it higher. Align your kneecap by pointing it toward your second toe. 

Common misalignments: 

  1. Shifting the torso forward
  2. Sinking into the lower back
  3. Knocking the front knee in towards center, or forward of the shin ankle

Prevention variation instructions: 

  1. Stand on your mat, raise your arms to shoulder height, and step your feet apart so that your ankles line up under your wrists. 
  2. Turn your right foot and leg out 90 degrees, but don’t turn your torso. Align your right heel with the mid-arch of your left foot. 
  3. Inhale, firm your legs, and lengthen up through your spine. 
  4. As you exhale, bend your right knee until it’s over your ankle. Point your knee toward your second toe. 
  5. Check to see that your right knee is turned out sufficiently and that your shin is vertical. You may need to separate the feet farther and turn out the right thigh more to achieve this. In the full version of this pose, the right thigh should be parallel to the floor, requiring a very wide stance and deep flexion at the hips and knees. 
  6. Move your tailbone down and lift your abdomen as you move your torso back up to vertical. This tailbone action initiates an outward rotation of both thighs, but especially the right one. These actions increase the forces on your pelvic bones and position the knees safely, so be sure to complete them. 
  7. Spread your arms wide, palms down, shoulders back. Look to the right with your head, neck, and spine aligned straight up over the center of your pelvis. 
  8. Broaden your upper chest and embody the strength of a warrior, extending out in all directions from the center of your pelvis. 
  9. Hold for 30 seconds, breathing fully but softly. 
  10. Repeat on the second side.
Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) — Osteopenia

Tip: If you’re tall, try using a cushion or block on the chair seat to make it higher. Align your kneecap by pointing it toward your second toe. 

Common misalignments: 

  1. Shifting the torso forward
  2. Sinking into the lower back
  3. Knocking the front knee in towards center, or forward of the shin ankle

Osteopenia variation instructions: 

  1. Place your mat along the wall and the chair in front of the middle of the mat, facing away from you. Stand with your back to the wall, raise your arms to shoulder height, and step your feet apart until your ankles are under your outstretched wrists. Once you have established this wide stance, hold the back of the chair for balance. 
  2. Turn your right foot and leg parallel to the wall, but don’t turn your torso. Your right hip can lightly touch the wall for reference and support. Line up your right heel with the arch of the left foot. 
  3. Inhale, firm your legs, and lengthen up through the spine. 
  4. As you exhale, bend your right knee until it’s over the ankle. Point the knee toward the second toe. 
  5. Using the chair support, lean a bit forward and move both inner groins back. 
  6. Move the tailbone down and lift your abdomen as you move your torso back up to vertical. This tailbone action initiates an outward rotation of both thighs, but especially the right one. These actions result in the desired effect on your pelvic bones and the safest position for your knees, so be sure to perform them fully. 
  7. Continue to hold the chair for balance. When you feel steady, spread your arms wide along the wall, palms down. 
  8. Look to the right, with your head, neck, and spine aligned straight over the center of your pelvis. 
  9. Hold this position for as long as you can, breathing fully and smoothly. Ideally, for 30 seconds. 
  10. Take a rest, if you like. Then, repeat on the second side.

    I just finished reading your 2013 expanded edition of Your Bones. On page 275 you state that the static poses of yoga cannot build bone. What made you change your mind? Do u still practice Pilates for Osteoporosis. The Osteogenic Loading machine people claim bone cannot be built without OL of 4.2 times body weight. Does yoga do that. They cite research that 10 minutes a week on their expensive machine is all we need to increase BD. Please comment. Thanks.

    Hi Frances,

    What changed my mind was Fishman’s research, which I discuss in the Yoga post. What he presents in his book had not yet been confirmed when I wrote the 2nd edition of Your Bones. Now it has. Here’s the abstract for the latest paper:

    Top Geriatr Rehabil. 2016 Apr;32(2):81-87. Epub 2015 Nov 5.
    Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Regimen Reverses Osteoporotic Bone Loss.
    Lu YH1, Rosner B1, Chang G1, Fishman LM1.
    Author information
    Abstract
    OBJECTIVE:
    Assess the effectiveness of selected yoga postures in raising bone mineral density (BMD).
    METHODS:
    Ten-year study of 741 Internet-recruited volunteers comparing preyoga BMD changes with postyoga BMD changes.
    OUTCOME MEASURES:
    Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric scans. Optional radiographs of hips and spine and bone quality study (7 Tesla).
    RESULTS:
    Bone mineral density improved in spine, hips, and femur of the 227 moderately and fully compliant patients. Monthly gain in BMD was significant in spine (0.0029 g/cm2, P = .005) and femur (0.00022 g/cm2, P = .053), but in 1 cohort, although mean gain in hip BMD was 50%, large individual differences raised the confidence interval and the gain was not significant for total hip (0.000357 g/cm2). No yoga-related serious injuries were imaged or reported. Bone quality appeared qualitatively improved in yoga practitioners.
    CONCLUSION:
    Yoga appears to raise BMD in the spine and the femur safely.
    KEYWORDS:

    Yes, I still do Pilates as well as yoga and last year I discovered barre, which combines Pilates, yoga and ballet exercises and have become addicted to that as well. I exercise at least one hour every day. It’s my break. As my bones are now in excellent shape and have been for several years –within one year of beginning to take AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost — I can do any of the exercises, not only those tailored to be safe and effective for individuals with osteopenia/osteoporosis.

    RE the Osteogenic Loading machine – Loading activates osteocytes, which is why weight-bearing exercise is beneficial. Here’s one of a number of papers discussing this:
    Arch Biochem Biophys. 2008 May 15;473(2):117-23. doi: 10.1016/j.abb.2008.02.028. Epub 2008 Mar 4.
    The response of bone to mechanical loading and disuse: fundamental principles and influences on osteoblast/osteocyte homeostasis.
    Skerry TM1.
    Author information
    Abstract
    Bone’s response to increased or reduced loading/disuse is a feature of many clinical circumstances, and our daily life, as habitual activities change. However, there are several misconceptions regarding what constitutes loading or disuse and why the skeleton gains or loses bone. The main purpose of this article is to discuss the fundamentals of the need for bone to experience the effects of loading and disuse, why bone loss due to disuse occurs, and how it is the target of skeletal physiology which drives pathological bone loss in conditions that may not be seen as being primarily due to disuse. Fundamentally, if we accept that hypertrophy of bone in response to increased loading is a desirable occurrence, then disuse is not a pathological process, but simply the corollary of adaptation to increased loads. If adaptive processes occur to increase bone mass in response to increased load, then the loss of bone in disuse is the only way that adaptation can fully tune the skeleton to prevailing functional demands when loading is reduced. The mechanisms by which loading and disuse cause bone formation or resorption are the same, although the direction of any changes is different. The osteocyte and osteoblast are the key cells involved in sensing and communicating the need for changes in mass or architecture as a result of changes in experienced loading. However, as those cells are affected by numerous other influences, the responses of bone to loading or disuse are not simple, and alter under different circumstances. Understanding the principles of disuse and loading and the mechanisms underlying them therefore represents an important feature of bone physiology and the search for targets for anabolic therapies for skeletal pathology.

    However, no research confirming efficacy of the Osteogenic Loading Machine/protocol has been published on PubMed.
    http://bstrong4life.com/ the company selling the osteogenic load program began conducting an IRB trial in 2014 that is discussed on their website. No results have been published. In the “research” section on their website, they provide 2 other papers. One was written for Performance Health Systems and has not been published in any journal. The other has been published in a peer-reviewed (PubMed listed) journal. Here is the abstract for this paper, which looks encouraging, and I agree with the conclusion – a larger controlled study should be run to look into it.

    OSTEOGENIC ADAPTATION
    J. Jaquish
    Performance Health Systems, Chicago, United States
    Received 4 August 2013; revised 8 August 2013; accepted 9 September 2013
    ABSTRACT:
    Aim: To determine bone density adaptation from multiple-of- bodyweight (MOB) compressive force with exercise apparatus designed for osteogenic loading.
    Methods: Osteogenic Loading (OL) apparatus was used to isolate optimal ranges of motion allowing for axial bone loading at levels that could be MOB (force/loading measured by load cells within the OL apparatus). Optimal positions for OL were verified by analysis of force production maximization [1]. Volunteer subjects, mean age of 62.5(+/-8.2 SD), (n=14) performed 4 specific multi-joint movements on the OL apparatus, each lasting 5 seconds. Sessions were repeated once per week.
    Results: Mean peak force/loading for subjects was 9.18(+/-2.63 SD) MOB (hip/legs) and 3.13(+/-0.79 SD) MOB (spine). Since different hospitals and radiology offices were used to gather DXA data, not all subjects had both hip and spine T-scores, and weeks/sessions of using OL were not uniform, the results are presented in a case report format, depicting pre and post DXA of hip and spine. Conclusions: This MOB level of axial force has been seen to improve BMD [2, 3, 4], however has been commonly affiliated with injury. BMD improvement outcomes were observed in all subjects for one or both test sites with no instances of injury or discomfort, at levels of MOB reaching 9.18(+/-2.63 SD) MOB (hip/legs) and 3.13 (+/-0.79 SD) MOB (spine). These results suggest a larger more controlled study be done to further examine the OL stimulus and adaptation.

    Hi Monica I was so happy to see this post about the effects of yoga on the AlgeaCal site. As a 3 monthh user of AlgeaCal and Strotium boost and one who practices yoga once weekly, I plan to incorporate these 12 minutes into my routine several times a week!! How can I get the Ultimate Guide to Osteoporosis via email so I don’t have to go to each link? I can’t wait until it’s time for my next bone density scan.

    Great yoga info; I did yoga 3X a wk before compression fractures in Jan this yr. Last fracture in late June. Just finished PT which helped a lot. I do exercises for core, legs & back – and walking. do you think keep doing these a little longer? Unsure how long to wait. Yes, taking AlgaeCal with occasional strontium when I can since Aug. Thank you so much! Want to try Pilates too

    Hi Sandy,

    So good to hear you’re doing well! It’s best to speak with your doctor or physical therapist before making changes to your exercise regimen — just in case you need to wait longer before starting something new/increasing intensity. ?

    Hi Clotilde,

    I am also a cancer survivor and have been doing yoga most of my life — as well as Pilates, rock climbing and swimming. My latest Dexa scan shows a decline from osteopenia to osteoporosis. Did you get an adequate response from AlgaeCal, and have you had positive results? I am considering trying it, but have my doubts. I hope you had a good experience.

    This is a hard thing to write. I have been taking AlgaeCal for years. Recently I opened the capsules and put it in water. In 24 hours it NEVER dissolved. So I added apple cider vinegar and it still Never dissolved! I know that calcium not absorbed properly will go into arteries. As a retired Holistic Dr I am VERY concerned. I have pictures of the glasses with the product floating on top.please tell me that research on your products were conducted on humans (not mice) and heart scans were done after a few years of dosing.
    Highly concerned

    Hi Lynn, thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns!

    Rest assured, our studies were on human participants and safety was well established via a panel of 45 blood chemistries and quality of life questionnaire. In our most recent 7-year study, there was specifically no evidence found in cardiovascular risk. You can view our studies here.

    Keep in mind that the digestive system is far more complex than simply being an acidic environment (and that stomach acid is much stronger than apple cider vinegar). There are digestive enzymes as well as a mechanical churning that helps with the digestive process. Rest assured, we know from the positive results from thousands of women and men that AlgaeCal works! Feel free to view some of these stories (with accompanying before/after DXA scans) here.

    Hope this helps put your mind at ease, Lynn! If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 ❤️

    Hi Cat,
    Great to see those yoga poses. I have been practicing yoga for 27 years. Unfortunately I still got osteoporosis ?. It actually is unclear to my GP why I got it. I lead an active lifestyle with plenty of bone building excercises and a calcium rich vegan diet. The only reason I can come up with is that I had my son when I was 44 years old. Not particularly eating a rich calcium diet then and pretty much went from child birth and 3 years of breast feeding into peri meno pause.
    I’m not regretting this and my son is super precious to me. I love your yoga poses as they now give me the support I need as I can’t get into some full poses anymore due to pain. I’ll continue what I do and just started on AlgaeCal. I have no doubt this will help me build new bones. Thank you. Gundula ???

  105. Blaire AlgaeCal

    July 7, 2020 , 10:31 am

    Hi Gundula,

    Thank you for reaching out – it’s wonderful to hear that you have been practicing yoga for 27 years! However, we’re so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    While exercise and a balanced diet are important for bone health, for some, this is not enough. After the age of 40, we begin to lose 1% of our bone density per year, sometimes more due to factors like menopause, genetics, lifestyle, etc. To overcome accelerated bone loss, supplementation may be necessary depending on the individual.

    Gundula, it’s great that you have started on AlgaeCal! Have you joined the AlgaeCal Community yet? It’s a supportive space for AlgaeCal customers to learn and grow together! Feel free to join here. We hope you’ll keep us updated on your progress – and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns along the way ❤️

    I am fairly new to the AlgaeCal Community and am so thankful for all the helpful information on this site. I have requested a PDF of the 12 yoga exercises and will certainly try them. I was not aware that yoga would be such a great support for bone health. Thank you so much!

    Thank you for these yoga poses! I am wondering how to choose the version when there is osteopenia in lumbar spine & hip, & osteoporosis in femoral neck. Should I be doing the osteoporosis version for all poses or is there more detail somewhere else about adapting the specific poses? p.s. I am a yoga teacher. Thank you!

  113. Megan AlgaeCal

    October 20, 2020 , 12:17 pm

    Hi Kathy, good question!

    Cat Buckley, RYT, RYOT shares that the goal (even for those with bone loss) is to work your way up to the Prevention version. As you are likely familiar with the yoga poses (great to hear that you’re a yoga teacher!), you may be able to start off with the Prevention version and modify certain poses as needed.

    Hope this helps, Kathy! ❤️

    I have been exercising since the age of 15 and I am in my 50s – yoga, treadmill, spinning. I was recently diagnosed with lumbar osteoporosis, osteopenia in the hips and neck. I understand backward bending seems to be fine but not forward bends because it creates a C-curve. Isn’t a back bend a C-curve in the other direction? What is the difference? What other yoga moves can I no longer do?

  115. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 12, 2020 , 10:22 am

    Hi Muriel, thanks for reaching out!

    We checked in with Cat Buckley, RYT, RYOT, and she wanted to share the following:

    “Although they may seem similar, forward folding and back bending apply very different forces on the spine. The key to practicing yoga safely with osteoporosis is to always focus on lengthening the spine as much as possible. In forward bending postures, only go so far as your hips will allow, stay long and straight in the spine and never round and shorten the spine forwards. In back bending poses, you also want to think about lengthening upwards, bringing the bend up into the thoracic (upper spine) rather than the lumber (lower) spine. The same goes for twists – always twist with a long, straight spine, never rounding the upper back into a twist. Focus on ways you can safely intensify your practice – can you hold these challenging standing poses a bit longer? Can you fire up your arm, leg and core muscle harder? These are the actions that will strengthen your bones.”

    Hope this helps, Muriel! ❤️

    I have been taking this for about 2 weeks. I think it is helping me sleep better. In the middle of the night, my back would wake me up. That hasn’t happened since about the second day I took the AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. Here’s hoping it is building stronger bones.

    After just recovering from a stress fracture in my ankle, I’m back to walking, and it’s great to have these yoga poses so I can build my strength. I’ve been taking AlgaeCal, strontium boost and triple strength fish oil for 3 years now, and my latest DEXA showed a slight BMD improvement in my hip, but a slight worsening in my lumbar spine. I’ve done a lot of the right things, but there’s always room for improvement. I appreciate all the info, exercises and diet tips from AlgaeCal!

    Is there any contraindication for doing yoga when someone has BPPV (benign positional vertigo)?

  171. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 11, 2020 , 3:08 pm

    Hi Janine!

    BPPV is generally triggered by changes in your head position. Some forms of yoga will incorporate swift changes in head position, but in these classes, the head often remains upright and the transitions are done very slowly. In saying that, we recommend confirming with a health professional if ever you’re unsure. ❤️

    I have osteoporosis and have been taking your products for the last year and 1/2. Will have another bone density test in July 2021. I also have arthritis in my knees and severe arthritis in my ankles and feet. The orthopedic doctor recommended ankle replacement surgery for both ankles which I have decided not to have unless it is last resort. I am wondering about doing the exercises with the arthritis diagnosis that I have.

  188. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 16, 2020 , 8:19 am

    Hi Patricia, thanks for reaching out!

    We checked in with Dr. Emma Gasinski, Physical Therapist. She advises that these exercises will be okay for you to do as long as they do not cause too much pain after you are done. A good rule of thumb is that you may feel a 3+ increase out of 10 on a 0-10 pain scale when performing the exercises, but that pain must decrease 2-3 hours after the exercise. It is still very important to exercise and move your body as safely and as much as possible. Make any modifications that you can and possibly try a good orthotic and shoe to help take any load off of the ankle/foot.

    Hope this helps! ❤️

    I’ve been practicing yoga for several years, and have found it to be very exhilarating. However, I found it very insightful and informative to learn about the studies which Dr Fishman conducted as well as the recommended timeframes for holding the poses. I’ll be referring to his 12 recommended poses and incorporating the recommended timeframes from here on in — thank you, thank you!!

I’m a yoga devotee, so I was devasted to learn I have osteo arthritis in the neck and spine (from x-rays from the chiropractor, after injuries), and osteoporosis from a recent, requested DECA scan. My Dr. said she doesn’t usually order them for someone so young. I’m 64. 🙂

  289. Cathleen Howard

    November 19, 2020 , 11:18 am

    Good for you, Rose. I’m the same age and have similar challenges. Back in the day, I practiced Bikram Yoga, but circumstances (some good, some bad) resulted in a lapse in my practice. When I would try a random class, it was usually too difficult for me. I most recently attended a private class led by a young woman, who said she had read about senior challenges but didn’t know much about them. Well, due to my own ego, I overstretched and re-irritated bursitis in my hip. I think this strategy of viewing exercises in 3 levels is the answer because I am stronger in some areas than in others. I wish you good luck and I thinking of you will give me incentive to stick with this program.

  290. Viola Howard

    I’ve exercised regularly for most of my adult life but yoga is new for me. I’ve been trying to follow Cat’s videos.
    She does a great job of explaining exactly how each part of the body needs to be positioned. I’m a visual learner so being able to watch her do the poses is a great help for me.

    Hi Sandy!

    We checked in with Dr. Emma Gasinski, Physical Therapist. She shared that you should start these exercises once you no longer have pain completing the movements. In saying that, please follow your doctor’s advice if you are on certain restrictions as to when to safely begin exercise. ❤️

    I am 71 yrs old and have taken yoga off and on over a couple of decades, most recently the first set of yoga classes that Cat recorded. Unfortunately, I’ve gotten very stiff, with balance and coordination getting so bad that I find it very hard to do floor exercises of any kind because it is so hard to get up again. These chair exercises I think I can do, and will give them a try.

    How do I get the motivation to do yoga when I’ve broken both hips and have balance issues?

  383. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 25, 2020 , 11:13 am

    Hi Judith, thanks for reaching out!

    We checked in with Dr. Emma Gasinski, Physical Therapist, for her best advice. Here’s what she shares:

    “That is a good question and one that is quite common. Though you have broken both hips and have balance issues, it may seem counterintuitive, but movement is one of the best things that you can do for yourself. The only way you will get stronger or improve your balance is by practicing balance and exercising every day. Changes do not come fast, but the longer you stick with a program, the better your results will be. You also do not only have to do yoga – think of an activity that you enjoy and try that. The best exercise is the one that you will actually do because you enjoy it. You can improve your balance as well as your strength so continue to believe in yourself. Good luck!”

    Hope this provides some encouragement, Judith! ❤️

  391. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 25, 2020 , 11:17 am

    Hi Nana, good question!

    We checked in with Dr. Emma Gasinski, Physical Therapist, for her best advice. Here’s what she shared:

    “Hi Nana – Here is a great article to check out regarding more information about Degenerative Disk Disease. This is an article written by the American Physical Therapy Association and has some great education on how having degenerative changes to the spine is normal and often does not mean you are bound to have pain. Any yoga movement will be good for the spine as long as it is not extreme forward folding or forward folding and twisting at the same time. It is important to listen to your body and stop any exercise if you have an increase in pain. It is also essential that you begin a program with your local Physical Therapist that aims at teaching you the proper mechanics and form when perfoming everyday activities in order to not place any more compression on the spine when bending over and doing laundry or picking objects off the ground.”

    Hope this helps, Nana! ❤️

    I will request a PDF copy of the different yoga poses as well. This form of exercise is the best. I was a real fan of pilates and yoga exercises some 15 years ago and was reminded as I looked at the exercises here of the real benefits of this form of exercise. I want to get back at it as I am now taking algaecal products and know this will greatly improve my strength, agility and coordination. I am finding that at my age now in the 70’s, I have lost strength and balance. Thank you for providing this information!

  405. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 18, 2020 , 8:35 am

    Hi J, good question!

    When done carefully and correctly, with proper alignment, twists can be safe even for someone with osteoporosis. Always twist with a long, straight spine, never rounding the upper back into a twist, and be sure to follow the tips we provide for each pose! ❤️

    I have done yoga most of my life. I’m curious about weights. Do you recommend using weights? Not with the yoga but on their own. Also what do you think of vibration machines?

  409. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 20, 2020 , 8:58 am

    Hi Laurie!

    Yes, weights can be safely and effectively used by someone with osteoporosis. Here’s what Dr. Emma Gasinski, Physical Therapist, has previously shared about starting with weights:

    “In order to gain strength, you should be using a weight that will make you struggle around the 8-10 repetition mark. For example, if you’re using a 3# weight for an exercise and are able to do 30 repetitions, this means the weight is too light. If then you try 20# and aren’t able to lift the weight, this is too heavy.

    We encourage you to play around with the weights to find what’s best for you and try to pick a weight where you struggle to do more than 10 repetitions. You can aim for 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions. After each set, rest for 1.5-2 minutes. Your next two sets should still be challenging.

    As you get stronger, you’ll be able to do more than 10 repetitions and this is when you know it’s time to increase the weight! You don’t need to increase the weight a lot – 1 to 2 pounds more should work for most exercises!”

    If you’re interested, we describe some resistance exercises that include weights here.

    We also have a post on vibration machines here.

    Hope this information helps, Laurie! ❤️

    Fishman’s books and information are awesome. I didn’t know about the length of time to hold the poses that he explains to get the full benefit.
    The videos that Megan produced of the 12 poses are most helpful to demonstrate Fishman’s books. I have the PDF. AlgaeCal etal provides comprehensive help with exercises and diet to get the most benefit. Thank you.

    November 27, 2020 , 1:52 am

    In studying the NASM course for Personal Trainers, I notice that Dr. Fishman’s yoga addresses the same concerns that NASM does for seniors — balance stabilization and strength. It’s reassuring to know that by doing your yoga exercises, I’m doing what this top notch organization teaches in its training. Also, whereas I was losing weight and muscles due to weak bones, I’ve regained both since using AlgaeCal. This has in turn helped to strengthen and stabilize me to exercise safely. Thank you!

  486. Megan AlgaeCal

    November 27, 2020 , 3:21 pm

    I have been doing the “bridge” position prior to seeing it here. I did not know that it was considered a bone builder exercise. I just knew that when I did it, it made my shoulders and back feel better. Now I know why.

    Wonderful videos! I studied yoga for 25 years. My wonderful instructor retired and I haven’t found another who knows enough about modifications to make yoga practice good/safe for me.

    Recently, I heard that my yoga instructor was in her 80’s. Remarkable! I thought she was in her late 50’s or early 60’s. Yoga was clearly good for her bones and body!

Then rehab but got Covid-19 and had to stop rehab. I’ve gained so much weight being home I am stiff and a bit of a mess now. I am going to try to do these yoga poses in my effort to get back to myself in some way.

    I have done yoga in the past and my daughter who is in living in Saudi also is a licensed Yoga Teacher but with the yoga I tried here and read over very carefully the moves are adapted to address Osteo and that is fantastic because very few yoga classes have done this. It was gentle, effective, and very rewarding doing this yoga and thank you so very much.

  535. Pamela A White

    November 30, 2020 , 12:29 pm

    Thank you AlgaeCal for all the information you provide. My doctor never mentioned that I had osteopenia, so no support until I got osteoporosis and then just wanted to put me on a drug. Luckily while researching, I found you. I have been taking the AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost for about 9 months. I won’t be able to have a dexascan for another year, but with all the great reviews, I will continue to take both. Thank you again

    I wouldn’t have looked at this page if not for the contest but now I am going to print it out. It is nice to get some things I CAN do when I have this whole list of things I can’t (including that nice stretch when you lie on your back after exercising and put your knees to the side,can’t believe that is off limits).

    Hi – resending my questions. It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond!

    Cat’s video is wonderful – really like the thorough explanations of each pose. Two questions:

    1. What does Cat mean when she says in side-angle pose “curl your tailbone down toward your left (or right) foot” – instruction #6. I don’t quite understand what direction that is because curling your tailbone down would make it go forward, no? Otherwise she would have said “curl your tailbone to the side toward your left (or right) foot”.

    2. Is there a video (or one in the works) for Dr. Fishman’s other series?

    Thanks,
    Tamara

  562. Megan AlgaeCal

    December 30, 2020 , 10:28 am

    Hi Tamara, our apologies for missing your questions!

    Thank you for your patience. We reached out to Cat with your questions. Here are her responses below:

    1) The aim of the “curl the tailbone” cue here is to return the pelvis back to neutral, as there is a tendency to tilt the pelvis forward in this pose. Directing the tailbone towards the back foot is another visual cue to encourage an opening in the groin area and to stabilize across both feet.

    2) We don’t have another Fishman series class in the works. However, the live classes in the AlgaeCal Community are greatly inspired by Dr. Fishman’s teachings!

    Hope this helps and thank you again for your patience, Tamara! ❤️

    Thank you very much for these yoga videos! I just have a question or two. In searching for yoga poses that a person with bone loss can safely do, I have read that any type of twists should be avoided. (And also other poses, for example the Plow, forward bends, the Boat,
    The Plow, and the Bridge.)
    But you do include a few, as in the Matsyendrasana. At least I think that would be called a twist? What are your thoughts on twists please? I love doing what you have here, as it is such good stretching.
    Again, thank you for sharing these videos with us!

  566. Dr. Emma Gasinski

    June 6, 2021 , 10:48 pm

    Hi Peggy – thank you for the question! It is true that some positions should be avoided when done in a forceful manner and under load or done repetitively – such as forward bending when picking up objects or staying in a prolonged position for too long such as sitting over the computer with a rounded posture. This includes some positions in yoga such as the plow or the forward fold when folding from the spine. You can modify some poses such as the forward fold by placing a chair under your arms so the body does not do as much forceful flexion. A bridge should be okay but a wheel pose should be proceeded with caution especially if you have not performed under guidance.

    Regarding twists – again, when done in a fast velocity, this can be more dangerous. When done respecting the range of motion that you have and proceeding without any pain, this should be okay but this does depend on the severity of the bone loss. A good rule of thumb is to listen to your body and slowly progress the range of motion that you can do without pain. Twisting is a motion that can be done as long as it is not forceful in nature and is done with a straight spine.

    Hope that helps!

    – Dr. Emma @ AlgaeCal

    Hi. i am a 42 year practitioner of yoga. For 10 or so if these years I have studied Iyengar yoga, which holds poses for long periods and also uses props as needed.
    I wasn’t concerned with bone density as I eat a low processed food diet , no sugats healthey fresh foods. Then this year my scan was poor wiith T scores in the -3.1 to -2.9 in the left hip and lumbar spine and left femor neck.

    MY QUESTION-Do I pull back from the current intermediate practice which includes twists, significant backbends, single leg balance poses and deep forward bends because I might fracture a bone? Or am i strengthening bone by doing this continued practice?
    I just finished my first month on Algaecal Plus with Strontium.

    my question is

  693. Brianne Bovenizer

    October 16, 2022 , 11:29 am

    Hello JoEllen,

    We’re so sorry to hear about your recent scan results, and are so happy to have you on our program! As everyone’s individual capabilities differ, we would suggest working with a professional, perhaps a personal trainer that specializes in bone health to help guide you through which exercises may or may not be appropriate for your individual situation. That said, our rule of thumb is to listen to your body, and proceed with exercises at your own pace, and comfort level! If you haven’t already joined our community on Facebook, we’d love to see you there! This is a great spot for extra, additional information you may find helpful! 🙂

    I recently fractured my back for the second time. My condition has apparently advanced from very good bone density to osteopenia to osteoporosis in a matter of 10 years. It is time for me to take this seriously. I used to love yoga as a college student and look forward to reacquainting myself with it as a senior.

  827. Chelsea Dugas

    December 20, 2022 , 1:20 pm

    Judy, I’m so sorry to hear this. If you are still in recovery, perhaps our Bone Fracture Healing Guide can help. Getting back into yoga is a wonderful idea as well! Providing your bones with the proper nutrition to heal and grow stronger is also extremely important. If you’re interested in a safe and natural approach to increasing your bone density, AlgaeCal has helped thousands of women and men do so for many years!

    Hi > I have been doing yoga for about 20 years on a very regular basis along with hiking and walking regularly. I am 68 years old . I love yoga but my dexa scan has moved from osteopenia to osteoporosis over the last two years. Maybe I’m not holding poses the right amount of time to stimulate bone growth or maybe it is nutritional or maybe who knows?

    Hi Wendy,

    Thanks so much for commenting, and we are so sorry to hear of what you are experiencing. We agree that proper nutrition and exercise are super important for healthy bones! In saying that, someone who is experiencing accelerated bone loss may need additional supplementation. AlgaeCal provides all 13 vitamins and minerals that our bones need and is clinically supported to increase bone density! If you’re interested, you can learn more HERE! If you have any questions, please give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free), and any one of our friendly Bone Health Consultants would be happy to help! 🙂

    My osteoporosis doctor told me to stop yoga, because she doesn’t want me to twist my body or do anything like a “crunch.”

  897. Shelby AlgaeCal

    June 19, 2023 , 1:51 pm

    Gosh, we’re sorry to hear this, Kathy – since your doctor has advised that you stop yoga, we would definitely recommend asking them which other types of exercise they would recommend for you! That said, if yoga is an activity you really enjoy it may even be worthwhile to ask them if there are any yoga poses you can do (perhaps poses that aren’t involving “crunch-like” movements) safely at home.

    Of course, if there’s anything our Bone Health Consultants can do to support you, please do feel free to reach out at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) or [email protected].

    Great to hear, Cyndi! 🙂 Yoga, in general, is great for building bones. According to Dr. Fishman, yoga’s gentle, low-impact movements are ideal for those with bone loss. For more details, please refer to the section titled “3 Reasons Yoga Can Strengthen Your Bones” in this blog article.

  938. Yoori AlgaeCal

    May 1, 2024 , 6:12 pm

    Thank you for commenting! 🙂 While research on this topic continues to evolve, many experts agree that certain yoga poses can help improve bone density, strength, balance, and flexibility, all of which are important for managing bone loss.

    However, as you mentioned, the most important thing is that you’ve found yoga to be beneficial for your overall well-being. Yoga offers a holistic approach to health, providing physical, mental, and emotional benefits that can enhance your quality of life regardless of specific health conditions.

    I think yoga is pretty much always a good idea and I enjoy it but shouldn’t we be doing some impact exercise too? Not necessarily full-on jumping but something like just bouncing either on the floor or on a rebounder?

  991. Yoori AlgaeCal

    May 2, 2024 , 4:26 pm

    Great question! Our in-house physical therapist, Dr. Emma Gasinki, actually does not suggest using a trampoline / rebounder to improve bone mineral density for anyone diagnosed with bone loss. The risks of falls and injury outweigh the benefits, and the research does not show positive results. There are many other exercises that can be done and as long as you get on a consistent progressive strengthening as well as continually work on your nutrition, you will slowly see improvements in your bone health.

    When it comes to supporting your bone health, there are two types of exercise in particular that stand above the rest: weight-bearing and muscle strengthening. You can find more exercise programs on our blog HERE. A friendly note to always discuss with a healthcare professional before adding any new exercises to your routine, to err on the side of caution :). I hope this helps!

    I’ve tried yoga in the past, but my arthritis causes a lot of stiffness such that the exercises are too painful to still maintain basic daily function. Perhaps if I further modify the poses for osteoporosis to help decrease the twisting motions.

  1085. Yoori AlgaeCal

    May 6, 2024 , 4:04 pm

    Of course, Kris! Modifying yoga poses to accommodate your arthritis and bone loss is a great idea. Gentle, modified yoga can still provide many benefits for flexibility, strength, and relaxation without exacerbating pain or discomfort. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider or a qualified yoga instructor who has experience working with individuals with arthritis and osteoporosis. They can provide personalized guidance and recommendations tailored to your specific needs and limitations :).

    I never knew that Yoga was so good for your bones! I learned that yoga engages all of your muscles and bones throughout your entire body, strengthening them. It also releases an anti-inflammatory, which is good because inflammation causes bone loss.

    I used to do Yoga but have not done it in several years. I didn’t know about Yoga releasing a powerful anti-inflammatory, or that holding the poses increases bone strength. This has given me the incentive to return to my Yoga practice.

    I know people that do yoga but at my age and the issues I have with knees, neck and shoulder I find it prohibited. I have one knee replacement and going to have the other one this late summer. An abundance of pain for years with the knees. So much better now. Neck injury and shoulder also keeps me careful in activities.

    May 6, 2024 , 8:23 pm

    Thank you for sharing, Glennis. I’m sorry to hear of the challenges you are going through, but I’m glad to hear that you’re experiencing some improvement, especially with your knees. Given your circumstances, it’s understandable that certain activities like yoga may not be suitable or comfortable for you. The key is to listen to your body, and find an exercise routine that works best for YOU! It’s essential to work within your limitations while gradually challenging yourself to progress over time. Consulting with healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists or orthopedic specialists, can provide valuable guidance and support as you navigate your journey toward improved health and well-being.

    I am surprised at the number of spine-twisting poses. I was told never to do that with osteopenia.

  1293. Shelby AlgaeCal

    May 5, 2024 , 4:14 pm

    We totally understand your concern, Nancy! When it comes to twists and forward bending movements, our registered yoga for bone loss teacher, Cat Buckley, says it’s all about technique. You want to avoid a “C-curve” in the spine (rounding the spine forward). This puts a lot of weight on the vertebrae and can be dangerous for those with low bone density in the spine (luckily, the same is not true for back bending). So, when twisting – make sure you twist with a neutral spine (don’t round your upper back) and power the twist with your core, rather than pulling yourself into it with your limbs. Even with these technique tips, we understand everyone is unique and always encourage them to consult with a specialist before starting any kind of exercise! Hope this helps. 🙂

    The exercises are interesting and will attempt to accomplish as much as possible. My issue is that I have 2 rods in my back from T2 down through S3, and then again from C3-C6. My doctors discourage any twisting. This is frustrating as I often desire to “stretch “ my back, but just am not physically able to do it. I do have some wall yoga exercises that they have encouraged me to do, but mostly they prefer me to do pool exercises so as not to over pressure the areas where the rod ends are.

  1330. Yoori AlgaeCal

    May 6, 2024 , 6:51 pm

    Thank you for sharing, CindyLou. It’s essential to listen to your body and avoid any movements or activities that cause pain or discomfort. As always, consult with your healthcare provider or physical therapist before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have medical conditions or physical limitations. They can provide personalized recommendations and guidance based on your individual needs and medical history!

    This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for and have needed. I started weight training in 2017 because I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. The manager told me yoga wouldn’t help me at all, nor swimming.

    I have not had anyone tell me any different and have stayed away from yoga and spent more time with weights. Interestingly, my own experience with my daily stretching and physical therapy routine has shown me that Dr. Fishman’s observations are correct. Repetition of movements resulted in bone mass building and strengthening. It is so great to have the science behind this explained.

    I love the suggestions on yoga poses. The use of supports and adaptations is very helpful.

    So glad to have checked this out and will look forward to using these ideas.

    I knew strength training was important to improve bone density, but had no idea that yoga could help. I appreciate the “easy” version as I have osteoporosis, and above all, don’t want to do any harm. Thanks for the research too, without which I would not consider doing this!

  1474. Shelby AlgaeCal

    May 6, 2024 , 4:54 pm

    Thank you for taking the time to comment, Kathy! Weight-bearing exercise and a balanced diet are definitely important for bone health! But for some, this is not enough. After the age of 40, we begin to lose 1% of our bone density per year, sometimes more due to factors like menopause, genetics, lifestyle, etc. To overcome accelerated bone loss, supplementation may be necessary depending on the individual. We would love to answer any questions you may have about the AlgaeCal program, so please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). 🙂

I’ve put off resuming yoga since I broke my back (and will likely always fear my fragility due to that). I’ve been unsure about how much I could safely do; and not confident that instructors would be well informed. So this is a gift! Thank you, AlgaeCal and Dr. Fishman.

    Hi Mary Jo!

Yoga can actually be beneficial for bone health when practiced safely and appropriately!

    I have been practiced Yoga for 7 years at the gym but I didn’t know how much the benefit for our body it had. The instructor always describes how to do the postures but never talked about the benefits biologically have theses postures. I never have read about articles or a book between Yoga and osteoporosis. Thanks for sharing the information that has been helpful for our ignorance about what happen in our body while we are practicing it. My body loves all the slow movement and that is why I have been practicing.

    While I have never enjoyed yoga ( I am not very patient!) I was impressed by Dr. Fishman’s studies, especially study #2. I am inspired to try to incorporate yoga into my new self care routine along with the exercises with Dr. Emma.
    I have one reservation. I believe arthritis in my right hip (getting Xray soon) and some positions are uncomfortabel for me. I will listen to my body and modify but any ideas are appreciated! Sounds like yoga is good for joints too.

    I am a true believer of yoga for life. I do have osteopenia and osteoporosis and have practiced yoga for 6 or 7 years. I can feel the strengthening as poses are fully engaged.

    I actually do chair Yoga with a senior group. I think it is a positive way to grow bone density. I agree that this is an excellent way to manage symptoms of Osteoporosis. My point of view is that a solid routine can help strengthen bones and muscles. In turn this helps reduce risks of injuries. I think it helps me with my balance as well.

    I have been taking yoga classes for almost 30 years now. I can’t say enough positive things about it! All the poses shown above are great for all levels, beginner on up. Even though I have osteoporosis now, I’m still going strong with my yoga practice, and learn something new from every class and every teacher that I’ve ever had! My balance and strength have improved over time, and my mind can settle and enjoy savasana pose at closing. It’s my “me” time.

    The info about on the 12 yoga poses has convinced me the importance of continuing the practice. That along with upping my weight bearing exercise.

    May 20, 2024 , 8:59 am

    That’s fantastic to hear, Kim! Yoga can be incredibly beneficial for bone health, especially when combined with weight-bearing exercises. The combination of yoga poses that specifically target strength, balance, and flexibility, along with weight-bearing exercises, can help improve bone density and overall bone health.
    Keep up the great work with your practice and exercise routine! If you have any questions or need further guidance on incorporating yoga or weight-bearing exercises into your routine, feel free to ask.

    Thank you for the PDF yoga poses link. I had to start aquatic therapy following a L2 compression FX back in January and now will be building back into land exercises this next week. I will take these poses to my PT to see if there are any I could start doing now.

  2316. Manja AlgaeCal

    May 20, 2024 , 9:01 am

    You’re very welcome, jewels! It’s great to hear that you found the PDF yoga poses helpful, especially as you transition from aquatic therapy to land exercises. Consulting with your physical therapist about incorporating these poses into your routine is an excellent idea. They can provide personalized guidance on which poses are safe and beneficial for your recovery process.
    Wishing you a smooth transition back to land exercises and continued progress on your journey to recovery! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

    We are finding slow excercise increases resistnce that offers benefits over fast moements for longer periods of time.

  2329. Manja AlgaeCal

    May 20, 2024 , 10:47 am

    That’s an insightful observation, NP! Slow exercises that focus on building resistance can indeed offer unique benefits, especially for those managing osteoporosis. They allow for controlled movements that promote muscle strength, stability, and balance while minimizing the risk of injury. This approach aligns well with the principles of yoga, which often emphasize slow, deliberate movements coordinated with breath awareness. Incorporating such exercises into your routine can contribute to overall bone health and well-being. 🙂

    There are still plenty of low-impact exercises and activities that can help strengthen your bones without putting too much strain on your knees. Swimming, cycling, water aerobics, and tai chi are all excellent options that can improve bone density and overall fitness while being gentle on the knees.

    We hope you can work with your doctor to find an exercise that will be safe for you, Rosie!

    I have practised Yoga for years – on and off -depending on where I am in my travels. I also have moderate osteoporosis. Sometimes I join in a group practice whether Hatha Yoga (usually). or hot yoga only occasionally, but My niece is a Zen Yoga teacher in London, UK., who teaches Yoga teachers who wish to practice Zen Yoga Teaching. Any time I am in London, I practise with her. Yoga is portable and I carry it with me everywhere I go, and never fail to practise a few asanas in the morning to start the day feeling lithe and looser in my joints!

    Sorry yoga is against my Religion

  2743. Manja AlgaeCal

    May 22, 2024 , 9:23 am

    That’s interesting to hear, Dotty. While some yoga practices may have religious connotations, many focus solely on the physical postures and breathing exercises.

    You can approach yoga purely as a form of exercise that improves flexibility, balance, and strength – all beneficial for bone health.

    Perhaps other exercises like tai chi, water aerobics, or gentle weight training might be a good fit for you.
    We have many articles on our Exercise Blog outlining various other exercises for bone loss.

    Ultimately, the most important thing is to find an activity you enjoy and that supports your bone health.

    I never knew that Yoga helped so many bones and muscles at the same time!

  2875. Manja AlgaeCal

    May 29, 2024 , 8:51 am

    You’re absolutely right Lee Ann – yoga works so many bones and muscles at the same time, which is why it’s an excellent exercise for osteoporosis. The weight-bearing poses apply gentle stress to stimulate bone formation, while also improving strength, flexibility and balance by engaging muscles throughout the body. Yoga’s low-impact nature makes it ideal for promoting overall musculoskeletal health for those with or at risk of osteoporosis. It’s great you recognize yoga’s multifaceted benefits!

    May 29, 2024 , 9:03 am

    It’s excellent that you’re getting back into your yoga practice and are gratified to learn about the benefits for building bone density, Gerri. You’re absolutely right that yoga’s weight-bearing poses can help counteract bone loss over time. But the advantages extend beyond just the bones – yoga also improves muscle strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, which further supports the skeletal system and reduces fall risk. Stick with your consistent practice – it’s an empowering way to holistically target osteoporosis while gaining physical and mental benefits. Wishing you the very best on this bone-healthy yoga journey!

    June 5, 2024 , 7:31 am

    Great to hear our yoga for osteoporosis article has piqued your interest in trying this low-impact exercise for improved bone density, Ed. While weight training is excellent, adding yoga can be a valuable complementary practice with its weight-bearing poses and muscle-strengthening benefits.

    We encourage you to give yoga a try, even once or twice weekly alongside your weight routine. The low-impact nature is ideal for bone health.
    Let us know if any other questions come up!
