The Mayo News – HEALTH Yoga and osteoporosis
Posted in Hatha Yoga on 11/23/2009 05:56 pm by DonnaYoga poses (asanas), an excellent group of weight-bearing exercises, are known to stimulate bone building in both the upper and lower body while also being low-impact. All the standing poses will bear weight on (and so strengthen) the bones in the lower spine, the hips and the legs. Many will also improve balance, which also helps to reduce the risk of falls.
