About The Classes
I’m hoping to offer live On-line Group Yoga Classes for people living with osteoporosis. I am fully qualified and experienced in teaching yoga especially modified for this condition. You will be offered gentle yoga routines especially adapted to develop posture, flexibility and balance while protecting your bones.
Depending on demand, there will be a choice of:
- Extra-care classes
Gentler classes for people who have had vertebral fractures, limited mobility, or who find it difficult to get up and down from the floor - All-round classes
More challenging classes for people who are able to move easily from lying on the mat, to seated, to standing (and back again!)
WHO ARE THE CLASSES FOR?
On-line group classes are best suited to people who are in good health apart from having low bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis).
For some people it is better to arrange an individual consultation and 1-1 class in the first instance. You can then chat with the teacher to decide whether group classes would be suitable for you. This may include:
- People with other health conditions in addition to osteoporosis/osteopenia.
- People who have had fractures
- People with very low bone density
WHAT DAY AND TIME WILL THEY BE OFFERED?
Dates of ‘pilot’ sessions:
Monday 21st September 2026
– 10.30am Extra-care Class
– 2.00pm All-round Class
Depending on how these sessions go, I hope to start a 4-week block of sessions on Mondays from 23rd November 2026.
HOW MUCH WILL THE CLASSES COST
Payment for the classes will be a donation to the Royal Osteoporosis Society (UK) via my JustGiving page. There will be a “suggested donation”, based on the cost of a yoga class in a typical studio, but you can donate as much or as little as you can afford.
(All participants will be asked to keep their donation amounts hidden, so that no-one feels under pressure to pay more than they can afford).
Important note: Although the proceeds from these classes benefit the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS), they are NOT organised by ROS. I teach the classes based on my own training, qualifications and experience (see About The Teacher below.)
ABOUT THE TEACHER
I have been specialising in Yoga for Osteoporosis for over 5 years and am a regular volunteer for the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
I’m passionate about enabling people with osteoporosis and other health conditions to maintain their quality of life through exercise. I am committed to teaching yoga in a way which protects the bones and joints while improving posture, flexibility, strength, balance and wellbeing.
I myself have osteoporosis, and since my diagnosis I have modified my own practice to protect my spine. I have found that modified poses can offer the same feelings of integrity and control as deeper versions of the poses.
