Yoga for Healthy Bones

Yoga for
Healthy Bones

Movement, Nutrition and Mindset
for Your Optimum Bone Health

What is happening to my body?

Around the time of menopause, or in the few years after, you might have noticed some changes in your body.

Maybe you feel like your muscles are weaker, you don’t have as much energy or your bones aren’t as strong as they used to be?

You might have had a bone scan, and your doctor has told you that you have osteopenia or osteoporosis. Understandably, you might be afraid about what this means for your lifestyle and health?

After taking care of yourself for all these years, it’s frustrating and disappointing to be told you have something wrong with you, and that you need to take medication.

You want a strong, healthy body, you want to carry on with all the activities you love, and you want to do all of this the pleasant, natural way!

I completely understand. That was my experience, and that’s why I developed this course for women like you.

Yoga for Healthy Bones is a completely different approach to bone health, one that is:

positive
loving
anti-fear
holistic
natural
pleasurable not painful
experiential
empowering
research-based.

Why Every Woman Should
Take Care of Her Bones

Bone is at its strongest around age 30, and then begins to decline. When women reach menopause, bone mass declines extremely rapidly for the first 5 years, then gradually slows down.

Osteoporosis is increasingly becoming a global epidemic. More than 200 million people are suffering from osteoporosis.

People with osteoporosis are more likely to consider themselves in poor health, experience high levels of psychological distress and report moderate to severe pain regularly.

This is quite shocking considering osteoporosis is preventable and treatable.

It’s one of my personal missions to create more awareness around this absolutely vital health issue that is so poorly acknowledged in our society. I help women to look after their bone health earlier, so that they have the freedom to do what they want for as long as they possibly can.

Having healthy bones is about more than just going to the gym. Let me help you understand this new, holistic approach to bone health that gets you feeling juicy and resilient through your 50s, 60s and beyond.

How does Yoga for Healthy Bones Work?

Yoga for Healthy Bones is structured as a 6-week course, so that you have time to take in new information and learn new strategies without overwhelm.

However, you can take as long as you like to do the course.

Your course includes:

Yoga Classes: including yoga postures proven to improve osteoporosis outcomes.
Qigong Classes: dynamic stretching and flowing movements to balance body, mind and spirit.
Breathing practices and Meditations to soothe your nervous system and increase stress-resilience.
Video lessons to explain some of the key issues in bone health.
Downloadable resources: cheat sheets, recipes, nutritional information and more.

What does Yoga for Healthy Bones include?

You will have lifetime access to all the course materials so you can practice the classes, breathing practices and meditations as many times, for as long as you wish.

The course is delivered on our private course platform, where you will have your own individual account, and can access your materials whenever you like.

Although the course is intended to last 6 weeks, it is a self-paced course, so you can take as much time as you need to complete the course.

The 6 modules in Yoga for Healthy Bones are:

MODULE 1 - Enquire Within – A Gentle Approach to Bone Health

How can you make wise choices about what is right for you in today’s practice? What does a diet for healthy bones look like? Where can you find all the nutrients you need? What about if you are a vegan or vegetarian?

1-1 Support
VIP Upgrade

Do you think that it might benefit you to have personal 1-1 guidance as you go through the course?

Perhaps you need to talk to someone about your own personal bone health history? You might be wondering about whether you should have a bone mineral density scan, or need help understanding the results of your tests.

You may have received a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia, and your doctor is recommending pharmaceutical medication. It can be confusing and scary to receive a diagnosis, and you may really benefit from some 1-1 support as you make your way through the options available to you.

Perhaps it’s been a while since you have exercised, your body isn’t what it used to be, and you are unsure about what type of exercise is appropriate for you now. You might need specific modifications for your level of health and fitness, or maybe you simply need someone else to help motivate you to do the practice!

Maybe you need help with your diet and nutritional supplementation. You know how important this is for your bone health, and you don’t want to make mistakes. Having a qualified nutritionist, who has a special interest in bone health, by your side can be invaluable.

For whatever reason, if you feel it would help you to have some 1-1 consultations alongside completing this course, the VIP upgrade is for you.

What does the VIP upgrade include?

The Yoga for Healthy Bones 1-1 Support package includes:

4 x 1-hour Zoom consultations with Lisa (one at the beginning of the course, two during, and one at the end).
Analysis of your most recent pathology results and BMD scans (or advice about what tests might be useful for you).
Personal Yoga Therapy mentoring (creating the best personal practice for you, based on the course material, for your optimal wellness).
Personal Diet and Supplementation advice (taking into account your lifestyle, family situation, budget and food preferences).
Regular email and/or social messaging so that you can ask any questions that come up as you go through the course.
Warm and compassionate listening presence. This is perhaps the most important factor in the whole package, being able to share your story with someone who understands, empathises with your experience, and has the knowledge and experience to really help you find the right path forward.

Why should I upgrade?

The Yoga for Healthy Bones course is a comprehensive overview of many of the different ways that you can support your bone health: Yoga, Qigong, Meditation, Breathwork, Nutrition and Mindset. The course is detailed and inspiring, and if you follow the course right the way through, and continue the practice in the future, you will receive multiple benefits for your bone health and overall wellness.

However, we know that every individual’s health journey is unique. Our health is affected by many factors, and the path to healing is different for everybody. It can be incredibly valuable to have the guidance of somebody with knowledge, lived experience, intuition and wisdom to be able to help you find your path to healing.

If you feel that having this guidance could support you in your healing journey, please register now.

Once you register for 1-1 support, you will receive all the information you need to book the private sessions with Lisa.

Further Support

If you need more support after the four sessions, to help keep you motivated, learning and growing, you will be able to book this at the end of the course.

Value

Obviously, we can’t place a value on good health, strong bones, confidence, motivation, enthusiasm and vitality. While we cannot guarantee any specific results for your bone health, if you follow the guidance in this course, and receive 1-1 support so that we can work together closely on what you really need, it is highly likely that you will experience significant improvements in both your bone health and your general overall well-being.

If you would like to benefit from this additional 1-1 support, please add the VIP upgrade to your purchase when you checkout.
