Healthy bones are critical for our movement, strength and balance. We need to build bone health while we are young to support our muscle structure and prevent osteoporosis, and as we age we must challenge ourselves to continue moving in ways that support growth, counteract arthritis, and stems bone density loss. This workshop will provide information and yoga exercises to educate you on maintaining and increasing the health of your skeletal structure. Bring your questions--there will be discussion, movement, handouts, and healthy snacks provided. Workshop cost is $50.
