In 2016, researchers published on findings of a 10 year study looking at the relationship between bone density and yoga. They found that 12 postures helped improve density across the bones of the femur and the vertebra. During this class, we explore the 12 asana postures and work with fascial mobility and alignment at the hips to free up the spine.
This is a full body practice with an emphasis on working with alignment and twists.
Because this is a moderate level practice, please make sure you have the props you need to support your body.
Necessary props: yoga mat, blanket or towel, strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair.
Trina Mann is a physical therapist who specializes working with people who have Parkinson's in Northern California! She is also a 200hour R-yoga teacher! She teaches a weekly yoga class in her community, and we are fortunate enough to be able to join the class live through zoom or utilize these recordings!
This wonderful yoga class is more of a gentle, restorative yoga class with a focus on kindness to our body, breath and body awareness. I highly recommend you try it!
For more information about Trina, check out her website! https://www.brainsandbells.com/
Remember - modify as needed. Don't do anything that doesn't feel safe. Use support as needed during standing exercises and use a chair for getting down on the ground and back up if you need it!
