I am pleased to announce the availability of my new book, Yoga for Better Bones. Yoga for Better Bones is the book that teaches you, the Yoga practitioner, how to practice Yoga safely if you have osteoporosis, osteopenia or low bone density. The book is also ideal for Yoga teachers who want to instruct practitioners with osteoporosis, osteopenia or low bone density.

Yoga for Better Bones is available for sale online at Lulu.com (my publisher) for $14.95 US and on Amazon.com.

Yoga for Better Bones Overview

Yoga and OsteoporosisSeveral years ago I wrote a short booklet (also called Yoga for Better Bones) with Jayelle Lindsay. Jayelle is a Physiotherapist and Certified Yoga Teacher who completed the MelioGuide Building Better Bones course and developed a Yoga teacher training program on Yoga and osteoporosis. For years I have been wanting to upgrade this booklet into a complete book. Here it is.

The book includes a new chapter dedicated to anatomy and movement as it relates to Yoga. I felt it was important that the reader understand what is happening to their body when they practice certain Yoga poses. In later chapters, I discuss the latest research on Yoga and bone building, provide guidelines on how to have a bone healthy practice, identify popular Yoga poses that should be modified (and show you the modifications), and finally I discuss Yoga poses best avoided by someone with osteoporosis.

    I have read your book and would love to start a regular yoga practice. I have osteopenia and a bit fearful of doing practice at any regular yoga studio. My question to you is, have you considered doing an audio book. This would be of tremendous help to people like myself in doing safe practice at home listening to your instructions.

    Hello Priscilla, I am flattered by your suggestion. I will look into the possibility.

    I wanted to purchase the download of yoga. It not only wanted card information but also my shipping address. Why? It was not going to be shiped.

    Joann: You are right. You can put in a fake shipping address (ie, 123 Main Stree, Anywhere, etc) if you are concerned about privacy.
