[@barbaraquintana1642]

I do it daily and I use this over and over. It suits me just fine!

[@ebmolo22]

Can you please tell me how the uninterrupted version differs from this, and what the subscription is for?

[@KendraFitzgerald]

@@ebmolo22 Hi! The uninterrupted version just means zero ads and a single platform for easy replays of this and two other videos (osteopenia version, upper back engagement, and deep core workouts).

[@dianallison1787]

This looks wonderful! I used to do several of these moves, part of my PT. Never knew they were yoga! Wish I could do this today.

[@COGasSafety]

I've been too busy the past two weeks to do much but thanks to doing your 12 poses every other day for the past two years or so, I picked up fine. Without you and your yoga I wouldn't have been able to start ballet which I really am loving. Thank you Kendra so much.

[@KendraFitzgerald]

I'm so glad to hear this Stephanie! Glad to have you back!!

[@janem.8227]

Thank you sooooo much for your video. I recently tried to do Dr. Fishman’s yoga poses and was frustrated. I have done yoga for years. I discovered your video and had no problem. Your instructions were both clear and relaxing. Thanks!!!!!!! Hopefully my old bones will continue to build density. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago. I am now taking Fosamax, calcium, vitamin D and doing bone strengthening exercises, mostly yoga, weights and walking. I am happy to say that I no longer have bone density in the Osteoporosis range. It is now in the osteopenia range. Bone building exercises work! Thanks again. I will be watching your video daily.....well, maybe not daily, but my goal is at least 3 times a week.

[@devotedmamas]

Fantastic Jane! I'm so happy to hear the video has been helpful, you are so so welcome. Indeed, bone building exercises certainly work!

[@KendraFitzgerald]

Hi! I would love to know how you're doing now, 6 years later! Still practicing?

[@shelliesmaha5666]

Thank you so much for posting!! I used to be an avid Yogi but with hyper mobility issues I stopped. Then I received an Osteoporosis diagnosis and knew Vinyasa was out.

This - the 12 poses - was fine without interruptions thank you. Stephanie

[@adiegrey]

Ah Kendra thank you for this! I wish you would do some more variations on this; I will try to find someone to help me with that as I have been recently diagnosed with osteoporosis despite having practiced yoga for years in the past but only sporadically over the last 2 or so. I had breast cancer several years ago and my reconstruction made it difficult for me to do down dog and other arm balancing poses, and I am grateful to have a practical daily practice which I also hope (although question) will help me reverse the osteoporosis. I agree that this is so much more enjoyable than Dr. F’s video although I am grateful for both. Best of everything to you!

[@COGasSafety]

I can't seem to find your kind suggestions for getting my wrists back against the wall when doing the cactus but I've been trying what you suggested and feeling that there a real stretch in my chest sort of along an imaginary diagonal bra strap from the centre of my boobs to the shoulder - it feels really good as if it had wanted that stretch for most of my life! Thank you. BTW I find the rolling up of the blanket along the spine and lying on this with arms in cactus using weights on the hands works to help push the wrists back but I need then to bend my legs and keep my feet flat on the floor in order to relieve any pressure on the small of my back. You probably suggested this but I can't find the original notes you sent me. Anyway it's all good - thank you very much indeed. Your exercises are really helping my ballet efforts too! Delighted to read that everyone's bone density seems to be benefitting too. I'm still getting the adverts but perhaps I could change my .79 cents to $1 a month - how do I do this? Cancel the first one? You have really helped me and improved my health and strength - thank you. Stephanie

Deep twists of the lumbar spine are contraindicated for osteoporosis but twists within the hips themselves are great! When in doubt though, always check with your doctor for what is right for your body.

[@frankiedoodledog2462]

It’s taken me four months but I’ve mastered the tree pose. Can you recommend any other balancing poses similar in difficulty that I could add in to work on? Thank you.

[@JaRule6]

This is a nice sequence and very well produced. I just want to make sure that folks with osteoporosis know that they should modify for any forward bending of the spine by supporting their abdomen on the thighs. Also they should avoid any twisting motions where they are not upright. They should only twist with their shoulders above their hips. When you have osteoporosis you want to avoid curving the shoulders and the hips forward towards each other. So no crow and no hurdling your abdomen from down dog to plank. One more thing, when you're in downward dog you will probably want to keep your knees bent so that you avoid curving your lower abdomen at all.This is the journey I'm on. It has taken me two doctors and a physical therapist to get this much information about how to avoid damaging my spine. I've had to figure out how to modify about half my practice and stop doing some asanas completely. I'm 51 and very enthusiastic about yoga, so this has been a real exercise in releasing the ego's attachment to what my body can and can't do. While there will be things that I can not do, I will find solace in the fact that I will become more mindful of my body due to this new challenge. Namaste

[@devotedmamas]

Yes! Thank you for this comment. Indeed, with osteoporosis, you definitely want to keep the spine from rounding forward and focusing on hinging at the HIPS rather than the waist when reaching or folding forward, and being careful with twisting. Thank you!

[@jeanneg.1956]

Yr exercises have some twisting of the spine, are they recommended for osteoporosis patients?

[@KendraFitzgerald]

Great question! These poses are based on the work of Dr. Fishman, who recommends these poses for patients with osteoporosis. The majority of the twists happen in the hips and not directly in the spine, so they tend not to twist very deeply. If you have specific questions about how your body will react to these poses, definitely ask your doctor or PT!

[@COGasSafety]

Just to say I'm doing your suggested exercises to improve getting the wrists back towards the wall for the 'cactus' pose in the 12 poses and it's already making a difference. Thank you very much indeed. Just seen your post about preparing for birth, minimising tearing and recovering afterwards. I so wish I had had these exercises when I gave birth 42 and nearly 40 years ago! There was almost nothing and being reasonably fit, I could do the exercises they did give us (better than my mother who had nothing) immediately so they weren't hard enough or deep enough or perhaps they lacked your knowledge and experience Kendra? The first time all of us mums attended physio in a class at the hospital, we were instructed by a nun, who was very young, beautiful and sweet and nice but couldn't bring herself to say, 'vagina'! I still remember with great fondness and appreciation how we all found that incredibly funny as no doubt other mums can well imagine! Stephanie

[@COGasSafety]

I am a senior but until recently ice skated regularly (stopped by Covid-19 as sadly the rink is shut) and wish I'd found these exercises while I was skating. They are so helpful. I find the last one with the block really hard but I'm improving (very slowly) and the pain is reducing (the pain on doing some of these but it's a good pain - it's a releasing pain and an unstiffening pain). I feel parts of my back release as if I was being given physio. I think I'm addicted! My ham strings are still tight though - any tips? I have tried stretching them for over a year now. I want to be able to do the splits! Perhaps a bit ambitious at my age! My tip for doing the tree is to do this in front of a mirror ideally with walls or a wardrobe on both sides so if you waver, you can gently push off from either wall rather than fall over! I find this a good place to do the other poses too, warrior etc. The floor poses need space but they are brilliant for opening the shoulders and the pain of trying to do this too is lessening gradually. My neck has more movement now. I must have been very stiff and feel much younger and fitter now having done them during most of lock down. To start with I did them two or three times a week but now, as they get a bit easier, I am trying to do them almost everyday. I feel good afterwards. Thank you very much indeed Kendra. I like your voice very much - you give tips, you don't shout or push too hard. I'm doing the deep core and the neck and shoulders video as well. Any other ones you do that you could suggest for me? My legs aren't too bad but my shoulders are 'not good' as you would say! Thank you again. Stephanie

If your exercises were a drug, it would have made a fortune so please everyone, do them! They work! The ones at the end where you lie on the floor are actually the ones that seem to help me most with the release it gives to the shoulders and although it hurts to start with, it's a 'good pain'.

Oh no Stephanie! I will check it out and see what's up. I've been meaning to re-film this video for a while now - along with the seated poses, so I may just re-film and make it available for a low price so you don't have to have interruptions. I will keep you updated!

@@KendraFitzgerald Thank you very much indeed Kendra - I would really appreciate that although I love your original film and would really like to purchase that without the interruptions.

I have just found you. I would also like to purchase your DVD IF available. If not, I am also interested in the revised film. Thanks!

Hi Stephanie @COGasSafety! I just uploaded an uninterrupted version of this practice to my course platform where you can access it for $1 / month (it was the minimum allowed by the platform). I hope you'll join me there! bit.ly/yogaforbonehealth

Nice poses and all, but the grating electronic sound and the occasional construction sounds in the background are very distracting.

I don't understand the language of yoga as I've never done it before-- when I look at Dr FIshman's video for Osteoporosis I REALLY don't understand it- it sounds like a geometry lesson . I think one needs to find a yoga class for osteo because this makes no sense for beginners like me-- it's too easy to do it incorrectly and risk hurting yourself. I wish you would do the osteoporosis version. Lifting, rolling, engaging, going deeper-what does it all mean?
