Yoga for Strong Bones Part 1

with Satya Greenstone, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT
Price: $135.00

Discover how Yoga asana (posture) can help to build and maintain strong bones.

A 10-year study by Dr. Loren Fishman demonstrated an increase in bone mineral density and improved bone quality with regular practice of 12 Yoga poses. Yoga asana also improves your balance, posture, strength, range of motion, and coordination, greatly reducing the risk of fracture.

Yoga for Strong Bones Part 1, a 2-day online workshop, will offer complete instruction in the 12 Yoga poses for osteoporosis that were taught in the first Yoga vs. osteoporosis study. The foundation poses are taught at 3 levels with guidance for adapting each pose to your level. Instructions include how to progress safely in the practice at home. There will be guided relaxation practices included in every class to reduce stress and allow the benefits of the poses to be fully assimilated.

Continued support after the program

To help maintain a regular home practice you will have access to the following online classes:

  • Complete 60-minute daily Hatha Yoga practice which includes the 12 osteo poses 
  • Short 20-minute practice of the 12 osteo poses

  • Full-color photo handouts of the 3 levels of each pose: to download


You will also have access to the instructor, Satya Greenstone, for personal guidance and support.

The Part 1 workshop provides practical tools and inspiration to give you the skills and confidence to continue a safe, effective Yoga practice for health and strength. This workshop may be taken alone or in combination with Part 2. 

Yoga for Strong, Healthy Bones Part 2 is a series of 4 weekly online classes focusing on variety and challenge.

Testimonials

Satya's style is clear, knowledgeable, affectionate, and kind. She willingly takes questions and explains clearly. I'm happy that I was able to take this course! Big thanks to Satya! And also a huge thank you to the Ashram for offering it. — Anna Eidsvik

This was a wonderful learning experience. Satya is generous with her knowledge and remarkable in her teaching. Her work with both experienced yoga teachers and students and the life she has devoted to her teaching inform her work in a way that I have not seen before in such depth. I love the 3 ways of doing each of the poses. For those of us dedicated to keeping yoga in our lives as long as we can, this whole weekend was an eye opener for me. Thank you so much, Excellent video options and picture and sound. 
The most valuable aspects of the program were: the detailed Q&A—I now have a deeper understanding of the Integral Yoga tradition; the possibilities of working with the wall for the more complex poses; the opportunity to study with Satya and to learn more about the aspects of gentle Yoga; a new approach added to my own practice as my body ages. Ageism is a problem in our society, but it was not evident here. This class was not made too easy, and instead was sophisticated and yet accessible, interesting always, and open in approach. — Mirabai Judy Hubbell

Presenter

E-RYT 500, C-IAYT Satya Greenstone

Satya Greenstone has been a student of Sri Swami Satchidananda since 1971. She has shared the teachings of Integral Yoga® in many diverse settings with students of all ages and backgrounds and combines a natural, practical, down-to-earth approach to Yoga with a gentle humor. Since 1999 she has been a primary teacher for the 200-hour and the Intermediate Integral Yoga Teacher Training programs. While serving as teacher training coordinator, she helped to develop and teach the first Gentle Yoga Teacher Training program. She has also developed and teaches training programs in Restorative Yoga, Adaptive Yoga, and Yoga and Meditation for Children. In 2005, she received certification in Therapeutic Yoga and is currently certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). She also is certified in Yoga for the Heart and Yoga for Osteoporosis.

She gently adapts the Yoga practices to individual needs and always finds a way to encourage and inspire her students who soon recognize that, for her, Yoga is an experience, not a subject for academic study. First and foremost she is a yogini, and her teaching is an extension of the experience gained from her Yoga practice. Satya exudes the joy and exemplifies the benefits that come from living the yogic lifestyle and she shares that joy and those benefits with her students.

Always thankful to her Guru Swami Satchidananda, Satya believes that he has created the perfect environment in which to practice Yoga and experience the peace of one’s true nature. It is that personal recognition of one's true Self that she tries to facilitate in every program.
