Hey friends! Enjoy this osteopenia version of Dr. Fishman's excellent method. Let me know if you have any questions!

@carrolbronson9437 Месяц назад

Thank your for this video. I use to love yoga but after my osteoporosis diagnosis my endocrinologist said I should avoid twisting. I now have scoliosis in my lover back and the stretches would feel so good. Should I skip the sitting twist? My Physical therapist had me doing some variation of some of your stretches. I’m just not sure if the twists are okay.

@KendraFitzgerald Год назад

I'm so glad you enjoy them! Each video has its own benefits. If the chair exercises feel too easy, you might be better served doing this video or the original. This version is slightly easier because it has different variations for osteopenia.

Hi Lynn! Thanks so much for your question. Yes! You can do the pose either in a chair to allow for more space, or if being on the floor is accessible to you and it's the rotation that is troublesome, you can also just hold your knee with the opposite hand and rotate your chest toward that knee. Is that helpful? Let me know if you need more of a description or if there is another part of the pose that is challenging.

@KendraFitzgerald 4 месяца назад

Great question, I find the yoga block can be helpful to 'bring the floor up to you' and let you go deeper into a pose regardless of flexibility level. If your body allows you to reach the floor without curving or arching your back, go for it! Otherwise, the block can be a very nice addition.

I cannot do the Lord of the Fishes pose as my second leg will not go all the way over my first - my butt is inches off the ground. Have you any suggestions as to what I do instead. (The first version at 17.19, where you lie on the floor and bend your leg and roll over, just as good, or am I best crossing my legs and doing Fisher pose? )

Great question Alice! Start with the toes of your floating foot on the floor (foot on the ankle) to give yourself some extra stability to begin. Then, when you're balancing, think of your foot as a straw and you're sucking a smoothie through your arch while spreading out your toes. See if that helps! You can also move the the wall and put one finger on the wall to help with balance in the beginning. Even that small surface area of touch can be incredibly grounding.

@KendraFitzgerald Год назад

I'm so thrilled you find my videos helpful Amanda! One thing with tight hamstrings that feel like they can never be stretched enough - sometimes it's actually the position of the pelvis that creates the tightness. If your pelvis is really pitched forward, it can put the hamstrings under a lot of tension. Obviously I can't give exact details on your situation without seeing you move, but I'd be curious to know what you feel if you go into a hamstring stretch and tuck and untuck your tailbone...?

Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video. I have taken a gentle yoga class for seniors for several years but was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and need to step up my game! I find your portrayal of Dr Fishman's 12 poses very useful but you move through them very quickly, almost too fast for this senior citizen. Most people with osteoporosis are in my age range or older, maybe next time you could slow things down a little? Also, your use of mirroring is confusing to me. Your verbal cues are the opposite of what I see you actually doing. Maybe it bothers me more because I am taking your instruction "virtually" and not in-person. At any rate, I often find myself wondering which side I should be on, the one you are demonstrating or the one you are verbalizing. Anyway, thanks again!

@KendraFitzgerald 2 года назад

Thank you Kathy! Yes, there are many ways for the verbal cues to go. :) I recommend following whichever is easier for you - I find that visual learners like to follow the video, while auditory learners like to follow the verbal cues. And I'll keep this in mind for future videos! Also with regards to the speed, you can actually slow down the video in the 'settings' of the video - you can listen to it at .75 speed or even .5 speed. My voice might sound funny but you might be able to follow along better. :) Thank you for practicing with me!

If you slow the playback speed quite a bit, you can compensate for any audio issues by turning on closed captions. The controls for playback speed and captions differ depending upon how you’re viewing YT. In the iOS app, which I use, they are accessed by clicking on 3 vertical dots at the upper eight of the screen. If viewing YT via a browser, I think you click on something below the screen.

I don’t have block what can I use instead, can I do it without the block?? Also I am trying yoga for the first time is it safe to start sudden beginners can do this??

@KendraFitzgerald 2 года назад

Great question! You can absolutely do this without the block, but as a beginner it may be helpful to have. Essentially, a block brings the floor up to you. You can also use a stack of books or a shoebox to replace the block!

Can you do these everyday?

Yes indeed!

Hi Kendra, Thanks so much for these videos for osteopenia/porosis. I've been doing yoga for years, but I developed a nagging back pain several months ago that you've helped me get rid of. The first video I found by you was this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NRNn-EkrMas.html and I'm curious why your Osteopenia-focused version seems to be more remedial than this earlier one you did for Osteoporosis. Was there some new research in the meantime? Regardless, great videos!

@KendraFitzgerald 7 месяцев назад

I'm so happy to hear that your back pain has disappeared! Love to hear that. And thank you for the question! The variations in the two practices were based on Dr. Fishman's research, with just minor changes in the poses. Both practices are still great to do!

Thanks for your reply, Kendra. I've been doing your earlier video on Osteoporosis every other day, and it's made a big difference. Cheers!@@KendraFitzgerald

I only count 11 poses, am I missing something?

@KendraFitzgerald Год назад

Yes! The 12th one is the side-extended leg version of Hand-to-Big Toe Pose. It's two in one :) Great question!

Kendra provides very helpful instructions

@mcooper9251 2 года назад

The talking through it is SO helpful. This way we can listen to the verbal instructions and not have to be watching the screen the whole time. Thank you for the detailed narration Kendra.
