Yoga for Arthritis and Osteoporosis

  • Element Yoga & Ayurvedic Wellness 802 East Market Street New Albany, IN, 47150 United States (map)

Join Carrie Klaus, ERYT 500, YACEP to explore the important role yoga plays in both the prevention and management of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are extremely prevalent conditions in the United States. With over 32 million adults affected by osteoarthritis, and 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 diagnosed with osteoporosis these are two of the most common conditions American adults encounter. For younger people, yoga plays an important role in preventing these conditions, while older adults who are managing these conditions can benefit greatly from a consistent yoga practice.

In this 90 minute workshop/class we will look at why yoga is so important in prevention and management of both conditions. We will also look at practice techniques to include for the prevention of these conditions, and explore safe and healthy ways to practice when managing one or both conditions.

This is a workshop that ALL ages can benefit from!
