Strength and Serenity
Strength training is crucial for building and maintaining bone density, with hormones playing a significant role in metabolism and energy. Incorporating yoga into your routine not only helps manage stress and cortisol levels but has also shown remarkable effects on insulin sensitivity, as evidenced by a study where diabetic patients improved significantly after daily yoga practice. Embracing both strength and calming exercises can lead to a healthier, more balanced life.In this clip

Can you help me understand if improving bone quality can help reduce the risk of fractures even if bone density is low? I heard you discussing bone density with Dr. Stacy Sims, and I work as a yoga teacher teaching people who are impacted by cancer. Treatment for cancer and hormone therapies often mean my students have osteopenia or osteoporosis. For some students, it is unlikely they will be able to lift the weights needed to build bone density, but could yoga help with bone quality and reduce the risk of fractures? I am hugely grateful for any help you can give me on this topic. Thank you so much. Vicky Fox
