with Bonnie Golden, M.Ed, E-RYT

Saturdays, June 1 & 15, 2024

Limited class size, please register early through Yoga Loft Tucson.

Take one or both sessions.

June 1: Bone Health and Strength.

Your yoga practice can be optimized to enhance strength and bone health. If you have low-bone density or osteoporosis you might wonder what kind and how much modification you need when you practice yoga poses.  Some poses are safe and quite beneficial, you may need to vary some poses, and some should be avoided.  All dimensions of yoga help to manage stress, which contributes to low bone density. We will discuss and experience beneficial bone-aware practices including both yang and yin related options.

June 15: Balance, Agility, and Healthy Aging

Improving your balance ability depends upon multiple factors. With aging, our balance systems often don’t work as well as they used to. Fortunately, yoga and related multimodal practices progress our balance abilities, as well as agility capabilities for fall prevention. Have fun learning how to safely assess, practice, and improve your balance and agility skills with this specialized workshop.

Each session will include:

  • Mini content presentations, definitions,  and discussion

  • Practice: We will practice yoga for strength, flexibility, balance, agility, and equanimity for mind and body, all designed for healthy aging.

  • Take-home materials.

Who should attend: Those interested in learning how yoga can be employed for wellness and a quality “health span”. Workshop is appropriate for relatively healthy and physically able participants.

The sessions and practices will not specifically include chair yoga, and participants must be able to get up and down from the floor unassisted. Medical advice for specific conditions not included.
