You're very welcome Matilde, thanks for joining me!

[@sanlynn36]

Came across this fabulous KZbin video today. Thank you! My only other comment, based on attending an Osteoporosis Clinic (UAB Birmingham) is the reminder to never round your back, but to keep it slightly arched during the exercises. Your demonstration utilizes this technique, but a verbal reminder would be excellent for those of us struggling.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thanks so much for practicing with me, I appreciate the comment :)

[@led19581]

So glad I found this video! Joelle's encouragement & understanding of osteoporosis makes this work-out ideal. Thank you.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for joining me Caroline! I do have some longer chair yoga videos in my program for chronic pain in case that's something you're interested in: tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu

[@melissalayne5439]

Loved this one! would love to see a few more chair yoga practices for those days when I just don't feel like hitting the floor! As always, ever grateful!

[@YogawithJoelle]

So glad you liked it Melissa, thanks for joining! I have a few chair practices in my chronic pain program (this one: tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu) There's even a little teaser of one of them on KZbin if you'd like to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH7akHeqh9mGgMU Or I've also got a 5 min office yoga class: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWiyk2eKea5ljac I hope that can help!

Thank you for providing seated exercises that a paraplegic (with osteoporosis) can do...somewhat...Your video is is the best of all!

[@YogawithJoelle]

You're so welcome! I'm really happy you found this helpful, huge gold star to you!! 🌟

[@galleta_2024]

Thank you for doing this video. At 81, diagnosed with Osteopenia, lost 1 1/2 inches, T12 fracture and T6&7 issues, this is the perfect video to rebuild muscle and stability that I have lost due to not walking or working out. Taking a chemo pill causes unsteadiness as well. This is the perfect start to rebuild strength, which I need. I will wear my brace so as to make sure I do not round out my back, until I get the hang of this. Looking forward to starting this today. Thank you for also including other videos. Best wishes, Cookie

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Cookie, thank you so much for taking the time to write to me and for sharing your story! I am so glad this is able to help and I hope you continue building that strength! Take good care 🙏

I just found your video. I have osteoporosis and needed something that felt safe and was a work out too. Thank you so much Joelle for providing me with a great video. It is exactly what I needed.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for practicing with me

[@jamie6506]

Some of your other senior yoga routines require a little more balance than my nonna has, so I'm really glad I found one that includes a chair. I'll be sharing this with her, thank you so much!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful! Tell her hello from me 👋

[@DebbieJones-ng7hf]

Love it; Joelle…. All your videos are so helpful 💕

[@cinheff7309]

Thanks for this video I have osteoporosis and was looking at the selection. I was happy to see you have one. I do all your hip & back video's & am seeing great results.🙏

[@YogawithJoelle]

That's so nice to hear, thank you for practicing with me!

[@maryannregina590]

Thank you for this great yoga for osteoporosis exercise. Will do it again tomorrow.

[@YogawithJoelle]

You're very welcome!

[@jeannettehaney3161]

I have osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and autoimmune hashimoto disease. Just found you a few weeks ago. Loved this routine and would love to see more for all of the above. Going to try your trapezius workout too. I have a tight trigger point there. Thanks

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad it's helping Jeannette, well done to you for being so consistent and taking care of yourself! 👏 Hope you liked the trapezius practice too. You may have already seen that I also have a 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia course available, perhaps something to consider at some point: www.udemy.com/course/yoga-for-fibromyalgia/?couponCode=YT-DISCOUNT Hope to see you on the mat again soon! 🌟

[@deanahervey906]

8:47 thanks so much for this video. I found out I had osteoporosis when I was 59 . I had partial hysterectomy when I was 28 and then ovaries when I was 35. No HRT since. Now I have 4th stage osteoporosis and have taken Prolia injections every 6 months for 2 years. I really love your slow and exacting exercises. They are hard to find!!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Deana, thank you so much for taking the time to write to me and for sharing your story. It is lovely hearing you enjoy our sessions together! Take care 🙏🏼

[@BonnieROAmountains]

I loved this, thank you. Since my career has me standing all the time, it’s such a welcome break to get some movement in while sitting down.

[@margiewhittingham7098]

Thank you for focusing on osteoporosis which I was just diagnosed with a few months ago after having some bad Falls resulting in back problems

[@YogawithJoelle]

My pleasure Margie, I truly hope this helps

[@galleta_2024]

GREAT VIDEO. I copied and pasted to my yahoo email to be able to do this every day. I already responded 3 hours ago after discovering it, and I have made a commitment to do this every day. I tend to not stick with things after a week or so, but because after doing this (I could not do the lunges) I can see how weak I truly am. Once I can do the lunges, I will move on to your other videos. As you indicated this does not look as challenging as it truly is. I am truly grateful to you. Namaste

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much! Keep up the great work, you can do it!! 🙏

[@galleta_2024]

@@YogawithJoelle No need to reply, I just want to say you are inspiring, so much so, that I held on to chair and desk and did mini lunges and more standing from sitting during the time the video was demonstrating the true lunges, figuring, whatever I did would get me to full lunges sooner doing a modified version rather than nothing. I've sent this video link to a friend and to a Biofield Tuning Practitioner who may have older clients like me, who are cute 🙂 hahaha, but lacking strength due to aging and complications. Yay...others will benefit too. Yay you! I was thinking of getting a compact stair stepper for seniors. Cheers to you

[@galleta_2024]

Still doing this video and I added 5 lb weights to each hand. I also joined local gym for treadmill and arm weights, leg press. I am going to conquer climbing stairs. You are very inspiring @@YogawithJoelle

[@kaihlawalker2598]

Thank you! I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 24 and am looking for yoga videos to do to help with it!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing your story. Welcome & I hope this channel is helpful for you! See you soon. 😊

[@canadiangirrrrl]

That was great. Can you show us something to replace the lunges if we have some knee issues? I’m so happy i found this channel.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hello Canada! Great question. If lunges don't feel good on the knee, try standing up tall and pulling one knee at a time as high as possible towards the chest while squeezing the glutes and keeping the spine straight. That way you're still working your balance and strengthening the hip flexors, but without putting weight on the knee. I'm so glad you liked the practice, well done!! 🌟

[@bjmb23]

I have osteoporosis with two compression fractures in my spine, and therefore have to be careful about my yoga practice. I have done this practice several times and found it very beneficial. Could you do a video that is not with a chair but good for osteoporosis? Thank you in advance!🙏

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm really glad you like this one :)

[@cfauria9171]

Thank you the nice stretch. I'm 65, diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I recently broke my foot, so have not been able to do my regular yoga routine. Do you have any other chair yoga videos?

[@YogawithJoelle]

Glad you liked it! If you search "yoga with Joelle seated" on KZbin, you should find some other practices that do not place any weight on the feet. I hope that helps and wish you a speedy recovery!

[@margotraveling]

I have been looking for a light weight chair like yours. Could you please let me know where you got it or post a link for it. Thank you

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm afraid I don't know, sorry! This video is a few years old and I no longer have that chair. Hope you find something you like!

[@deanahervey906]

Where did your yoga chair come from? And is it okay to sit on a cushion that keeps pressure off your coccyx?

[@YogawithJoelle]

It's just a regular chair, and you can certainly add a cushion if that's more comfortable 😉

[@jodiconner6645]

Thank you so much Joelle for taking the time to make this video. It is perfect! Wishing you a happy and safe holiday.
