A weekly class following Dr Fishman's clinically-tested sequence — twelve poses with variations, held to allow the dynamic pull of muscle on bone.
The class caters for mixed abilities — poses adapt with props, and standing poses can be done seated. Forward folds and intense flexion safely avoided.
Dr. Loren Fishman's method is grounded in Wolf's Law, which states that bone adapts to the loads under which it is placed. By holding specific poses, we create targeted pressure on key joints.
Holding yoga poses puts pressure on the bones, stimulating osteoblasts (bone-building cells) to lay down new calcium networks and strengthen bone structure.
The sequence targets the femur, spine, and wrist joints — the most critical areas susceptible to bone density loss and osteoporosis-related fractures.
We practice gentle weight-bearing through the hands and legs to safely stimulate bone density while avoiding high-impact movements that stress fragile bones.
Strengthening the deep core stabilizers and improving spatial awareness helps prevent falls, which is the single most effective way to avoid bone injuries.
Every posture can be adapted to suit your current strength, flexibility, and comfort level. We use blocks, straps, chairs, and blankets to make poses accessible.
A typical 75-minute class is structured to balance effort and release:
We completely avoid heavy forward bending (flexion) and quick twisting movements to keep your spine safe, conforming strictly to the Royal Osteoporosis Society guidelines.
Classes run weekly throughout the term. Your very first session is free of charge, allowing you to experience the space and flow with no pressure.
