3. Gait, Grace and Gravity: Balance for Bone Health on Sunday, June 23 ; 11:00am – 12:15pm

As we age there are numerous reasons why we feel less self-assured when walking. This uneasiness can put us at risk for falling. Exercising our feet, strengthening our legs and allowing for an adaptive pelvis are some of tools that can help with your embodiment and awareness. In this class you’ll practice simple foot work and leg strengthening to improve balance and regain confidence.

Yoga for STRONG Bones will resume in the Fall.

This 5-class series is based on a 10-year study from 2016 called Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Regimen Reverses Osteoporotic Bone Loss, which identified twelve poses for their effects and safety on 3 sites in the body that are among the most commonly fractured: the spine, femur and hip

Classes will include:

• Mindful Warm up
