Good Twist to Support Bone Density
When I had my bone density scan at the age of 59 I was shocked to find out I had osteoporosis. Knowing myself to be one who follows the rules, with none of the risk factors, I started thinking, “Where did I go wrong?“ Some of my trouble must have come from how I was practicing yoga. You can read more about what I discovered in this blog post, Reverse Osteoporosis: a Yoga Teachers First Hand Account. The end result was a change in how I practiced yoga with the correlating increase in my bone density.
To Twist or Not to Twist
Much could be said about twisting poses… which ones for which conditions. You can find a wealth of information about ways to apply twists to create a healthy spine in my book, Healing Our Backs with Yoga. Additionally, there are some twisting poses that can be done safely with osteoporosis, and some that are not recommended. In this short video you will gain a perspective as to why this open twist, MarIchyasana 1, works so well to strengthen your spine.
