Registration is OPEN for Fall Weight-Bearing Yoga for Bone Health in Yorktown!
Whether you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, or simply want to be proactive about keeping your bones strong as you age, these specialized classes are designed to support bone density, strength, balance, flexibility, and overall well-being.
The program is based on Dr. Loren Fishman’s clinically studied method and uses your own body weight — no external weights needed.

🌿 INTRO TO WEIGHT-BEARING YOGA FOR BONE HEALTH
A perfect place to start — no prior yoga experience needed.
This course combines practice with education. We’ll explore how bones work, what affects bone density, and what you can do in everyday life to help keep your bones strong and healthy. We’ll learn the yoga postures step by step, with modifications when needed, while gradually building a safe and effective home practice.
The course also incorporates Dr. Fishman’s newest 2026 practice recommendations, including updated guidance that takes the osteoblast refractory period into consideration when structuring your practice.
Tuesdays, 5:30–7:00 PM
September 8 – October 27 | 8 weeks
Resident $240 | Nonresident $288

🌿 WEIGHT-BEARING YOGA FOR BONE HEALTH LEVEL 2
For those who have completed the Intro course and want to continue developing a consistent Bone Health Yoga practice in a supportive group setting.
Level 2 provides the accountability, structure, and community to help you stay committed and steadily progress. We’ll continue refining the foundational postures while also introducing poses from Dr. Fishman’s second and third series, allowing you to expand and deepen your practice over time.
It’s a space to keep learning, stay motivated, practice consistently, and enjoy the support of others working toward the same goal — stronger bones for life.
Tuesdays, 7:15–8:30 PM
September 8 – October 27 | 8 weeks

✔️ stop progression
✔️ and support rebuilding strength

Almost a year ago, during a small bone-health retreat I led in the Bahamas, one participant shared something that stayed with me.
A few months earlier, she had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. The diagnosis confused and frightened her so much that she stopped doing almost all of the physical activities she had enjoyed before.
She told me she could feel herself getting weaker, but she was afraid that moving might hurt her.
Over the past year, I realized that her story is not unique.
Many women who join my Yoga for Bone Health courses or come for private yoga therapy sessions share the same experience. After a diagnosis, they often feel unsure about which movements are safe and which might be harmful.
And the fear is understandable. Certain movements should be avoided to protect fragile bones.
But movement itself is not the enemy.
With the right knowledge and modifications, many people can continue participating in activities that bring them joy.
Because this question comes up so often, I wrote a blog post about it:
Can You Attend a Regular Yoga Class with Osteoporosis?
You can read it here:

The New Year often brings fresh motivation to move more. Yoga classes fill up, gyms get busy, and many people return to exercise with the best intentions. Staying active is important, but so is understanding which movements truly support your body. This is especially relevant for women in midlife, even if osteoporosis has never been diagnosed. In my newest blog post, I explore how yoga can both harm and help when spinal osteoporosis is involved.
