With each video, I think this is my new favorite! In the last few months I've become so much stronger, also my balance and flexibility has improved. It's wonderful to be able to mindfully engage in the poses knowing they are safe. Soon I will be getting a DEXA scan. Hoping for the best...but will continue with these poses, and visualizing more strength and density in my bones with each practice. Thank you and Namaste!
I'm so happy to hear that you are much stronger now and that your balance and flexibility has improved. That is the power of yoga and the power of you being consistent with your practice. Our bodies are so amazing! I hope your DEXA scan gives you good results. And yes, continue with the poses and visualization! It works! Cheers to yoga and good health and strong bones! ☺💛🙏
Thanks once again. I really love this practice; it always gives me a good stretch of my whole body and strengthens my muscles, and yet it's OS safe. God bless and keep up the good work.
You are welcome! I'm happy to hear that you love this practice and that it gives you a good stretch! Cheers to yoga, good health and strong bones. Thanks for leaving me a comment!
I'm so happy to hear that you appreciate my detailed instructions. I'm big on building the foundation of the poses. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving me a comment. I appreciate it!
I’ve just moved onto this level 2 video and found the pace and level of instruction very good. I’m doing this with support from my GP to hopefully reverse an osteopenia diagnosis. As an aside Becky, you have a lovely tone of instruction, calm, friendly and informative. I love the fact you filmed this at home, it’s more of an encouragement than a studio. Big thank you.
I'm very happy to hear that you have moved on to my level 2 video! Good job! Keep up the good work and you will see great benefits to your body, mind, energy, strength and flexibility. Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy that you enjoy the video being filmed in my home. Cheers to yoga!
@@krishnamurarirai1577 You can pause the video and take your time with each of the 12 poses. So the full session can be done at your own pace, faster or slower.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm happy to hear that you like my instructions and my version of the 12 Poses. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. ☺💛
Love these poses. Excellent and clear instructions. Appreciated the instructions on how to safety getting out of each pose. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis recently and love doing these poses in between the weight training exercises.
I'm so happy to hear that you love these yoga poses! Also glad to hear that you appreciate my instructions and teaching method. Keep up with the weight training and yoga! Move your body everyday in some way. Cheers to yoga, good health and strong bones! ☺💛
I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos. Feeling relaxed and at peace is the best part of the practice. Good work on coming up with your own management plan for osteoporosis. Keep up the good work!
Hi! I'm happy to hear that you do these yoga poses everyday. Keep up the good work. If you are consistent with your practice, no doubt, you will get better and stronger. Cheers to yoga and better health and strong bones!
I have been diagnosed with ostéoporosis in the hips and osthéopenia in the spine. I already work with your previous vidéo. How often should I do the exercices please, thank you.
Try practicing 3 times a week. If you’re feeling good with 3 times a week, then increase to more often. Yoga can be practiced everyday. Just stay consistent with your practice. A little practice each day is better than a lot of practice once a week or once in a while. You will receive more health benefits with consistent practice. Cheers to yoga and good health. 😊
Thank you Becky. I just found your channel. I’ve been doing vinyasa yoga for 10 years and no one told me these asanas were not good for my osteoporosis 😢 I miss the hour practice but am grateful for your practice. 🙏
I'm glad you found my channel. That's great that you have been doing yoga for 10 years. We usually do need to modify our yoga practice a bit as we get older, but I think the movement in your vinyasa practice was probably more beneficial than harmful for your osteoporosis. Cheers to Yoga! Thanks for leaving me a comment. 💛🙏
Thank you for this video! Your instructions are excellent, especially for someone new to yoga and newly diagnosed with osteoporosis. You have a wonderful presence and manner, and I really enjoy your videos!
I practice this yoga everyday. thanks for for sharing! my lower back pain is much better! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis on my lower back this year. I’m taking colagem too. Next year I’ll have another bone density test again. I hope I it will be reversed to osteopenia. ❤
I'm happy to hear that you are practicing this yoga everyday. Being consistent with exercise, movement and eating right will help you so much. Keep taking good care of yourself. Thanks for leaving me a message.
Becky, thank you for another wonderful “12 poses for osteoporosis” yoga routine! I have done many 12 poses videos and you are the only yoga teacher who explains that poses 8 and 9 are isometric poses. That information makes these poses much more effective! ❤😊. I appreciate your yoga videos.
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed this routine and that you found my explanations of poses 8 and 9 helpful and effective. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate it.
@@YogasJoyfulJourney I agree with Karen, that makes the whole process much easier. Thanks for explaining in the 4th pose that our weight should be put on our leg, not on our hand, in order to get the benefits of that pose . Really enjoyable to follow you because we know how the poses will help our bones. Thank you so much for your yoga videos.
@@julianarannard2966 I am happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and the way I explain the poses! I'm all about correct alignment and letting people know the great benefits that they are receiving as they do yoga. Thanks for leaving me a comment! Cheers to yoga!
I agree! I’ve practiced yoga for years and the isometric aspect has never been mentioned. I very much appreciated that and it made those poses come alive.
@@susancarroll3221 I’m happy to hear you appreciate the isometric aspect of the poses. I’m glad you can really feel it in the poses. Thanks for leaving me a comment! 🧡
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this level 2 video of the 12 poses for osteoporosis. Thank you for practicing with me! And thanks for leaving me a comment to let me know! Namaste' 🙏
I am truly enjoying these practices for osteoporosis!! My body says thank-you and I have some hope again that I may be able to move easier and with less stiffness by doing this practice consistently. Thank you so very much!!!
I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the osteoporosis practices! You will definitely be able to move easier, have less stiffness and be stronger with a consistent practice! Cheers to yoga and good health! Thanks for leaving me a comment!
Hi Becky, I've been doing your 12 yoga poses for a while now and lo and behold! for the first time in 6 years I did not have to have an Aclasta unfusion this year! 🥳 thank you so much. I have been wondering tho if you could perhaps make a slightly longer video and incorporate some more osteo safe poses. Thanks again! Marianne from Sydney.
I am happy to hear that you have been doing my video of the 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis consistently. I am also so happy to hear that you did not need to have an Aclasta infusion for the first time in 6 years. Keep up the good work! As with any prescription medication, there is always a risk of side effects. Yoga does not have any adverse side effects! Thank you for the request and suggestion for a slightly longer video for osteoporosis with more osteo safe poses. I will put it on my list of videos to make. I'm happy to hear you are in Sydney. One of my goals is to share yoga with the world and my UA-cam channel enables me to do that! Cheers to yoga! ☺
Thank you Becky. I found you because of your other video on the 12 poses last week and since then I have done others from your channel and I have been enjoying them very much. They are very accessible. I am 54 and have been doing yoga for 20 years but just very simple things. I have some pain in my hips and neck and I can't get my arms very straight on those triangle poses and such. I am not the most flexible person but more now than before and yoga always makes me more loose and flexible. Thanks for sharing.
I'm happy to hear that you found my channel and that you have been doing other videos on my channel too. I try to make the yoga accessible for all people. In triangle pose, you can keep your top hand on your top hip instead of trying to straighten it over head (just try to roll that top shoulder back to open your chest up). Keep practicing regularly and it will help you feel more loose and flexible. Cheers to yoga!
I'm glad you like the video. I'm happy to hear that you are going to make it a part of your exercise routine. Keep moving every day, keep getting stronger and keep taking good care of yourself! Thanks for leaving me a comment.☺
Thank you Becky for slow and detailed instructions! For the 2nd strap pose where the foot goes out to the side, I have difficulty keeping the opposite bottom on the floor. Is it ok to have the opposite knee turn sideway like in a clamshell position?
Good question. Just do your best to keep the opposite bottom on the floor. It might lift just slightly but make sure that you don't roll toward the side where your foot goes out to the side. I suggest not moving the foot as far out to the side. Move the foot out to the side less than halfway. The goal of that pose is not how far you can move your leg out to the side; the goal is to feel the opposing action (isometric action) of the foot pushing away and the strap pulling the foot in. If it helps you to turn the opposite knee sideways like in a clamshell, that is definitely a modification to the pose that you can use.
I'm joining you every morning. I had no idea some of the poses I have been doing once a week for several years are not good for osteoporosis. I'm very grateful to have found you. Are there any poses you recommend for an S curvature of the spine? I'm doubly blessed. I'm fearful of the Prolia shot that has been recommended. Thank you, and I'm grateful.
I'm so happy to hear that you are joining and enjoying my videos every morning! Don't worry that you might have been doing poses that were not good for osteoporosis. I think those poses were probably still beneficial for you in general. Now you know some better poses to choose. I don't have any recommendations for an S curvature of the spine. I suggest asking your doctor or possibly searching UA-cam for videos. Thanks for leaving me a comment. I'm grateful also! 🙏💛
Wonderful thank you! I wonder why they did not include poses to strengthen arms and wrists in study. I fell hiking and fractured wrist last year. I've struggled in recent years with yoga because I could no longer put weight at 90 degrees in yoga (even table pose) with right wrist and now have the issue with left as well after fracturing. I can do downward facing dog and use fists and fingers for some poses. Challenging not being able to use wrists. I've started to use some light weights/arm exercises and trying to figure out how to use/maximize those.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Good question as to why poses to strengthen arms and wrists were not included in the study; I am not sure why then did not include any. Poses that are done on hands/wrists can be modified by doing the poses on your forearms in poses such as table, downward dog and plank. Good idea to use some light weights to strengthen arms and wrists. You may want to try using a resistance band to work your arms. Search some workouts on UA-cam using resistance bands for upper body and arms. Thanks for leaving a comment!
@@YogasJoyfulJourney Thank you! I am perplexed how I developed osteoporosis and frustrated my obgyn and primary did not have me test sooner to catch it at osteopenia stage. I'm 61 and I walked hilly 2M walk since my mid 30's fibro diagnosis. And yoga practice last 11 years, though I slacked off during COVID but increased my walking/hiking. I do suffer from chronic illness with neuro attacks and long periods of sedentary but I always moved my body every day and ate nutrient dense diet-though no dairy or gluten past 11 years. I'm normal BMI and I keep getting more diagnoses like hypertension and now osteoporosis. Discouraging. I urge anyone with any chronic illness to get tested early! I read people with fibro are at much higher risk as are many women with autoimmune etc. I can only imagine what it would be if I weren't doing those things.
@@YogasJoyfulJourney do you think poses on forearms strenghten forearms/wrists. I don't feel like they put alot of pressure. I do do the plank on fore arms.
@@selma5885 One of the best ways to increase bone density is strength training (or weightlifting). Forearm planks work your core and spine, but they also strengthen your shoulders and arms. Remember that everything is connected in the body, so the muscles you are using in your core, shoulders and arms will transfer down to your forearms and wrists even though you are not putting a lot of pressure on the wrists because you are holding your body up with your arms and the muscles in the forearms and around the wrists are squeezing against the bones. If you want to work your wrists more, check out this article online from HealthLine.com: www.healthline.com/health/how-to-strengthen-wrists
@@YogasJoyfulJourney Excellent! Thank you so much! Love your online videos! One question I had on bridge pose. In Loren Fishman's video they move arms under and clench with shoulders squeezed together for life. I was taught this way or with arms/hands facing down not up like your instruction video. So I was a bit confused by this.
I would like this with less talk. I thought since this was level 2 and I have done this many times it would be more challenging and less talk and explaining
You might want to try my video of the 12 Poses for Osteoporosis with 60-second holds. Maybe you will find that video a little more challenging. Although, I probably talk just as much through that video too, LOL 😂 Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/FBoEN45DUSQ/v-deo.html
Hi Becky thank you for your videos, I do these every night, love this new faster paced video. My question is I have a Hiadel hernia, it makes it impossible to do Cobra, is there modification pose?? Thank you
I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and that you are doing yoga every night! You will start to see great benefits to your body, your flexibility and your energy! My suggestion for a modification for cobra pose since you have hiatal hernia is to do a standing cobra pose. The standing cobra pose should look pretty much like a floor cobra pose, except you will be standing and thus your belly will not be pushing into the floor. Stand tall with your feet hip width apart, bend your elbows, spread your fingers wide and bring your hands to each side of your chest with your fingertips not higher than the top of your shoulders. Keep your fingers spread wide, pull your hands backwards and elbows backwards and downward and then squeeze your shoulder blades together and slide your shoulders down away from your ears. Hug your belly in and upward and breath into the low belly. Hold this standing cobra pose for 3-5 breaths. Let me know what you think and how it works for you. You can get the same benefit from a standing cobra as you do from a floor cobra! Cheers to yoga!
Thank you so much for this great video. I've been getting up early in order to start my day with this video. Prior to the pandemic I was practicing yoga regularly. I got out of the habit and with my recent osteoporosis diagnosis was glad have found you!! I've been pausing the video in order to repeat some of the poses and hold them a bit longer. Will you be working on a level 3 video?
I'm so happy to hear that you are getting up early and starting your day with yoga (and with this video)! It's perfect for you to pause the video so that you can repeat the poses, hold a little longer and really feel the poses. Thank you for your suggestion for a level 3 video. I will make that my next upload! ☺ Stay tuned! Keep up the good work! Cheers to yoga, better health and strong bones. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment!
I'm 59 just did a bone density and it said I have Osteopenia. I had no clue what that is but search landed me here, some of these I can't do but I want to make a plan to exercise with your vids daily until I can do them all. Gonna try, livestyle change is soo hard. Thank you
I’m glad you found my channel. That’s a great plan to exercise with my videos to get to know the poses and build your practice. Keep up the good work and continue taking good care of yourself!
I am taking an in person class on yoga for bone health based on Dr. Fishman. This video will be good for a daily practice. One suggestion: sometimes my view of you is blocked by the close captioned text, Could you possibly put that on the top instead of the bottom? Thank you for this video,
How great that you’re taking an in person class! I’m happy to hear that you’ll use my video for daily practice. That’s a great idea! I’ll try to move the position of the closed caption text. I might just remove the closed caption all together. I have been wondering if the cc interferes with people being able to watch me. So, thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a message and letting me know. Cheers to yoga! 🧡
Update: I removed the closed captioning from this video and some of my other videos. From what I understand, UA-cam also sometimes automatically adds closed captions to videos, so there might be a setting when you open videos on UA-cam that you will have to change in order to delete the closed caption. I hope this helps. Thanks!
In yoga, we are lifting and holding our own body weight, so you will get some weight-bearing benefits from practicing yoga. Yoga is not equal in building strength and muscle to a workout where you are using dumbbells or resistance bands. A weight workout will give you more strength and muscle building. I suggest doing both yoga and weight workouts for the greatest benefit. Thanks for the question.
I have been doing your original12 yoga poses for 6 months or so and want to try this one too.I have two questions. 1.Pose #8, Am I supposed to straight my knee which goes to the sky if I can? 2. Pose #9. Your leg doesn't close to the floor as much as the original 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis video. Is this pose more challenging ?
I'm glad to hear that you have been doing my original 12 poses video for 6 months. Pose #8: Yes, try to straighten your knee as you isometrically push your foot up to the sky while using the strap to pull your foot and hip downward. Pose #9: Keep your shoulders, back and hips flat on the floor without rolling to the side of the open leg. There is no particular reason my leg is not as close to the floor in the level 2 video as it was in the original. I was not trying to demonstrate a more challenging pose but rather maybe my hip or leg was tighter during the level 2 video. Thanks for your questions. Cheers to yoga!

Hoping for the best...but will continue with these poses, and visualizing more strength and density in my bones with each practice. Thank you and Namaste!

I've started to use some light weights/arm exercises and trying to figure out how to use/maximize those.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Good question as to why poses to strengthen arms and wrists were not included in the study; I am not sure why then did not include any. Poses that are done on hands/wrists can be modified by doing the poses on your forearms in poses such as table, downward dog and plank. Good idea to use some light weights to strengthen arms and wrists. You may want to try using a resistance band to work your arms. Search some workouts on UA-cam using resistance bands for upper body and arms. Thanks for leaving a comment!
@@YogasJoyfulJourney Thank you! I am perplexed how I developed osteoporosis and frustrated my obgyn and primary did not have me test sooner to catch it at osteopenia stage. I'm 61 and I walked hilly 2M walk since my mid 30's fibro diagnosis. And yoga practice last 11 years, though I slacked off during COVID but increased my walking/hiking. I do suffer from chronic illness with neuro attacks and long periods of sedentary but I always moved my body every day and ate nutrient dense diet-though no dairy or gluten past 11 years. I'm normal BMI and I keep getting more diagnoses like hypertension and now osteoporosis. Discouraging. I urge anyone with any chronic illness to get tested early! I read people with fibro are at much higher risk as are many women with autoimmune etc. I can only imagine what it would be if I weren't doing those things.
@@YogasJoyfulJourney do you think poses on forearms strenghten forearms/wrists. I don't feel like they put alot of pressure. I do do the plank on fore arms.
@@selma5885 One of the best ways to increase bone density is strength training (or weightlifting). Forearm planks work your core and spine, but they also strengthen your shoulders and arms. Remember that everything is connected in the body, so the muscles you are using in your core, shoulders and arms will transfer down to your forearms and wrists even though you are not putting a lot of pressure on the wrists because you are holding your body up with your arms and the muscles in the forearms and around the wrists are squeezing against the bones. If you want to work your wrists more, check out this article online from HealthLine.com: www.healthline.com/health/how-to-strengthen-wrists
@@YogasJoyfulJourney Excellent! Thank you so much! Love your online videos! One question I had on bridge pose. In Loren Fishman's video they move arms under and clench with shoulders squeezed together for life. I was taught this way or with arms/hands facing down not up like your instruction video. So I was a bit confused by this.
Wonderful. Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed this session. Thanks!
Thank you for this level 2 video! ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed the level 2 video. I am working on a new video for osteoporosis that should be out soon.
I really enjoyed it and you added some more tips and instruction in this one that were really helpful!
@@terriwymore7086 glad you enjoyed this one and found the tips helpful! Thanks for letting me know
Thank you for sharing 🙏
You are welcome.
Thank you so much!
I would like this with less talk. I thought since this was level 2 and I have done this many times it would be more challenging and less talk and explaining
You might want to try my video of the 12 Poses for Osteoporosis with 60-second holds. Maybe you will find that video a little more challenging. Although, I probably talk just as much through that video too, LOL 😂 Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/FBoEN45DUSQ/v-deo.html
Hi Becky thank you for your videos, I do these every night, love this new faster paced video. My question is I have a Hiadel hernia, it makes it impossible to do Cobra, is there modification pose?? Thank you
I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and that you are doing yoga every night! You will start to see great benefits to your body, your flexibility and your energy!
My suggestion for a modification for cobra pose since you have hiatal hernia is to do a standing cobra pose. The standing cobra pose should look pretty much like a floor cobra pose, except you will be standing and thus your belly will not be pushing into the floor. Stand tall with your feet hip width apart, bend your elbows, spread your fingers wide and bring your hands to each side of your chest with your fingertips not higher than the top of your shoulders. Keep your fingers spread wide, pull your hands backwards and elbows backwards and downward and then squeeze your shoulder blades together and slide your shoulders down away from your ears. Hug your belly in and upward and breath into the low belly. Hold this standing cobra pose for 3-5 breaths. Let me know what you think and how it works for you. You can get the same benefit from a standing cobra as you do from a floor cobra! Cheers to yoga!
Thank you so much for this great video. I've been getting up early in order to start my day with this video. Prior to the pandemic I was practicing yoga regularly. I got out of the habit and with my recent osteoporosis diagnosis was glad have found you!! I've been pausing the video in order to repeat some of the poses and hold them a bit longer. Will you be working on a level 3 video?
I'm so happy to hear that you are getting up early and starting your day with yoga (and with this video)! It's perfect for you to pause the video so that you can repeat the poses, hold a little longer and really feel the poses. Thank you for your suggestion for a level 3 video. I will make that my next upload! ☺ Stay tuned! Keep up the good work! Cheers to yoga, better health and strong bones. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment!
I'm 59 just did a bone density and it said I have Osteopenia. I had no clue what that is but search landed me here, some of these I can't do but I want to make a plan to exercise with your vids daily until I can do them all. Gonna try, livestyle change is soo hard. Thank you
I’m glad you found my channel. That’s a great plan to exercise with my videos to get to know the poses and build your practice. Keep up the good work and continue taking good care of yourself!
@@YogasJoyfulJourney Thank you
Amable❤
Gracias ☺💛
Loved it. Perfect for getting back to yoga after a car accident and learning I have osteoporosis.
Glad you loved it! Glad to hear you are back to your yoga practice after your car accident. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment!
I am taking an in person class on yoga for bone health based on Dr. Fishman. This video will be good for a daily practice. One suggestion: sometimes my view of you is blocked by the close captioned text, Could you possibly put that on the top instead of the bottom? Thank you for this video,
How great that you’re taking an in person class! I’m happy to hear that you’ll use my video for daily practice. That’s a great idea! I’ll try to move the position of the closed caption text. I might just remove the closed caption all together. I have been wondering if the cc interferes with people being able to watch me. So, thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a message and letting me know. Cheers to yoga! 🧡
Update: I removed the closed captioning from this video and some of my other videos. From what I understand, UA-cam also sometimes automatically adds closed captions to videos, so there might be a setting when you open videos on UA-cam that you will have to change in order to delete the closed caption. I hope this helps. Thanks!
hi are there other yoga poses that have been proven to be beneficial for osteopenia
Hi! Actually most yoga poses are beneficial for osteopenia because you are holding and moving your own body weight. Cheers to yoga!
Thank you so much! You are as wonderful teacher!!!!
@@estherkazarnovsky5761 thank you so much! 💛
Good morning❤
Good morning to you 😊
Hello Becky. I'm wondering if this would replace a weight workout? Such as being equal in building strength, muscle etc? Thank you so much
In yoga, we are lifting and holding our own body weight, so you will get some weight-bearing benefits from practicing yoga. Yoga is not equal in building strength and muscle to a workout where you are using dumbbells or resistance bands. A weight workout will give you more strength and muscle building. I suggest doing both yoga and weight workouts for the greatest benefit. Thanks for the question.
I have been doing your original12 yoga poses for 6 months or so and want to try this one too.I have two questions. 1.Pose #8, Am I supposed to straight my knee which goes to the sky if I can? 2. Pose #9. Your leg doesn't close to the floor as much as the original 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis video. Is this pose more challenging ?
I'm glad to hear that you have been doing my original 12 poses video for 6 months. Pose #8: Yes, try to straighten your knee as you isometrically push your foot up to the sky while using the strap to pull your foot and hip downward. Pose #9: Keep your shoulders, back and hips flat on the floor without rolling to the side of the open leg. There is no particular reason my leg is not as close to the floor in the level 2 video as it was in the original. I was not trying to demonstrate a more challenging pose but rather maybe my hip or leg was tighter during the level 2 video. Thanks for your questions. Cheers to yoga!
I’ve just found your channel, thank you
