This One's For You If You Have Osteoporosis | Ep. 50

More than half of women over fifty will break a bone because of osteoporosis in their lifetime. It's usually silent, no symptoms until something breaks, which means a lot of women are losing bone density right now and have no idea.

If you've recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, you've probably been handed a long list of don'ts. Don't bend, don't twist, be careful. And now you're wondering whether the yoga you love is even safe anymore.

In this episode, Mikah talks openly about who her new course, Strong Bones, Safe Yoga, is for, and who it isn't. She speaks directly to the newly diagnosed and shares what's actually inside: the SPACE method, how she groups every movement of the spine so you can move in every direction safely, five follow-along practices, and a bonus video and printout of Dr. Loren Fishman's twelve yoga poses for osteoporosis, taught her way.

If you've been scared to move since your diagnosis, this episode is for you. You do not have to spend the rest of your life afraid of your own body.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- Why a baseline bone density scan matters after fifty

- Why fearing movement is not the answer for your bones

- What's inside the course, from the SPACE method to the five-day practice plan

- When the doors open, and how to get the best pricing
