Why do Therapeutic Yoga for Healthy Bones ?

In Yoga the joints are moved to an ever expanding range, circulating their fluid and stimulating renewal of cartilage, tendons & ligaments. Simultaneously the bones are isometrically subjected to forces many times those of gravity, exactly the same forces involved in impact exercise. But in yoga, the forces are applied without any impact-yoga provides an excellent solution to the twin perils of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

As you age beyond 50, some experts look at the facts of impact exercise to stave off bone loss. Another group of experts, caution that impact exercise can lead to osteoarthritis. If you exercise with impact, the bones will become strong, but the joints at either end will become painful and difficult to move. If you stay away from impact, you will save your joints, but the bones may deteriorate. Numerous studies have shown that pressure on the bones is a potent force responsible for bone shape and strength.

1. Bone is living tissue and responds to stress placed on it.

2. Exercises that balance contraction & expansion movements in and out of joints, aid in safely restoring full range of motion.

3. Engaging is specific exercises that add muscular strength stimulate organic bone health.

4. Restored balance for your skeletal well-being is a Natural Result.

Yoga Sandbags are used on bones to add traction and add deep pressure touch stimulation. DPTS reduces stress hormones (cortisol) which may lead to leeching calcium from bones. The weight provides input to the deep pressure touch receptors and helps bones to settle into shape to promote space between vertebrae and mental grounding to focus on breathing. Focused Breathing revitalizes lungs & increases production of serotonin, natures hormone solution for inducing a peaceful state of mental & physical balance.
