Loren Fishman, MD and Liz Larson go over the Beginner, Intermediate and Classical versions of 12 poses that in 12 minutes of daily practice are likely to improve your bone mineral density and bone quality.

An alternative set of 12 postures in three versions: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, which are selected and designed along the same principles as the First Series, but include the wrist, and describe and demonstrate each version of each pose.  

The First Series has been demonstrated to raise bone mineral density and bone quality; this series is now being tested.

In over 150,000 hours of people using this set and the first set there have been no fractures or disc herniations or serious injuries of any kind. Over 80% of these practitioners have osteopenia or osteoporosis. Average age 68.3.

This series was selected and designed by the same principles as the first series. The first series has been demonstrated to raise bone mineral density and bone quaity; this oneis currently being tested and is likely to do the same.  

Dr. Fishman and Liz Larson go over the Beginner, Intermediate and Classical versions of each of the 12 poses although Savasana, the 12th pose, has only one form.  

This series is good for the hip, femur and lower back, just as the First Series is, but has the advantage of also focusing on the wrist - the fourth most common site of osteoporotic fracture.

The final member of the "Yoga vs. Osteoporosis" series. With this 12 pose sequence and the first and second series, participants will have yoga that stimulates the femur, the hip, the lumbar spine,the wrists and the ribs - the five most common sites of osteoporosis fracture.

If you practice the First Series on Monday, and the Second Series on Tuesday, and the Third series on Wednesday, then repeat for the next three days and start again on Sunday, you'll only be repeating the sequence on the same days of the week every five weeks. This should sharpen your perceptions and refine your mindful practice, and give maximum benefit to all your bones.

The "side-effects" of yoga are better posture, finer balance, greater strength, wider ranges of motion, refined coordination, and lower anxiety. It is nearly without cost, and can be done life-long.
