This is the best yoga video..best. No endless chatter, get it done and move on! I HATED yoga..especially videos that go on and on about what to do at different levels and loving hearing themselves talk. I did yoga YEARS ago, but moved on to weightlifting… Now I’m 75 and I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and saw the Fishman method discussed, but UGH! ..no! One day I watched a documentary about yoga and decided to try this series..starting with this video. Day one I was awful-I was cranky, but I did it. Later in the day I noticed how everything felt released and loose and I stood taller….hmmmm. Maybe this would be ok?! Now I’m into day 10 .. every day gets better. I actually HEAR the words of what to lengthen, deepen or press. When I’m done I feel such accomplishment,… and this morning my muscles are a bit sore-but in a wonderful way-and after the yoga it is gone. My posture has improved. What is this magic?? Thank you for this amazing video with EXCELLENT explanations and no mindless encouragement. I love this -I actually bought a mat and block and feeling like I WANT this for me. I’m doing it every day because I love how I feel and the way I can get just a bit more movement, release and strength every day! Thank you thank you. Fantastic video Wonderful instructions

hi kendra. love this. i've been doing all the 3 videos of dr. fishman's poses. i didn't realize that much of my pain was from osteoarthritis these videos are truly a miracle. for years, i thought i was just stuck in my joints and i'm a little more mobile these days in twisting my body and neck (standing/sitting) that i was able to go to a party and interact joyfully, when normally, i just hurt moving , twisting neck/body at all the stimuli and go home early. still got a lot of kinks to kick, but looking forward to the future. thanks a trillion. God bless you more and more each day as you have blessed us with these excellent videos freeing of us of great pain:) i'm a testimony:) question 1. is the first seated twist marichi's pose? question 2. is the bent knee seated twist lord of the fishes poses? is it okay to lift hand (saying hi) over knee that i'm holding? like in video Dr. Fishman's 12 Yoga poses for Osteoporosis - Osteopenia Yoga Version for Bone Health (16:33 min). here's another silly questions:) i don't know if it's me, but i hear you saying to use left when you are using right. example: at 19:40 min you say: left leg extended out (when it's right leg) and right knee into chest (when it's left knee into chest). i get confused when i'm looking you and following you, but hearing different direction. maybe i'm missing something? - just wanted to clarify:) thanks again:). any chance of combining all three videos of dr. fishman's poses cause their awesome. i've done two of them in sequence, but their similar. right?

Hi Amanda! so glad you're enjoying this video. Question 1 - yes! 2 - It's definitely ok to lift the hand saying hi over the knee you're holding. Just be conscious of what your spine is doing - make sure the twist comes with a very straight spine and lifting the hand doesn't make you round forward. Finally, yes!! you're right about the directions. In this video i'm doing mirror image so you can follow the image in the video exactly. There are other videos where I cue the exact leg i'm on (saying right when I'm lifting my right but it appears as left to you the viewer) :) So complicated, but I use a bunch of different options. Lots of people prefer different versions. LOL. Finally, yes! These videos are all VERY similar, with variations only for osteopenia and without twists. Otherwise they are the same!

Thank you, Kendra. I love the new video and all of the helpful extras to maximize the practice. Excellent and easy to follow!

Hi! Yes, I teach 'mirror image' so that what you are doing in real life mimics what you see on screen, but is opposite for me. I've gotten feedback that some people love mirror image, and others find it confusing and prefer the alternative of my cues being 'correct' in my body. So, I'm alternating videos with each (not switching within one video, that would be very confusing!). Thank you for your feedback!

Beautifully demonstrated and I’m overjoyed to know I can still do twists. I’m wondering about forward bends. I can do them while keeping my back straight because I have very flexible hips. Is it ok for me to do them that way while also using my core for support?

@KendraFitzgerald

Жыл бұрын

Hi Trish! I'm so glad to know you're finding confidence in continuing to do twists. Done correctly, they can be safe (and we need to move in ALL directions!). Forward bends can still be done with osteoporosis, as you said, with keeping your back straight. Hinging at your hips while engaging your core (and bending your knees if you need) is key. Great question!

@trishhickson1550

Жыл бұрын

@@KendraFitzgerald thank you! I’m so happy to know that. Forward bends and twists are my favourite poses, and I was devastated to find them not recommended. I’m very conscious of my posture and core now. I cannot believe how many women of a similar age to me in my class are really hunching their backs in forward bends.

I have a question about two poses..when I hold the strap and drop my leg, my other hip raises up a bit off the floor and my leg that is out to the side starts to shake. Is this ok? Also, last twist with one leg over the other.. my opposite sit bind comes up and I realize I’m not fully sitting flat. Is this ok or will I get more flexibility soon!🙏😂 Thanks for any help

@KendraFitzgerald

Жыл бұрын

Great questions! In the first pose holding the strap and dropping your leg, you do want to try to keep that other hip on the floor. Try engaging your core to see if that helps (and bonus - it becomes a core exercise as well!). The last twist - yes, keep the opposite sit bone down if you can. Even if it's energetically moving down, eventually you'll get there! Pressing the crossed-over foot into the floor can help with that engagement. Let me know if that helps!

I was just diagnosed with lower back osteoporosis and upper back osteoarthritis. Im 71 and Im not wanting to do the infusions he's ordered after reading several stories that had issues a couple with dead jaw bone problems later. How long if l do these daily religiously do you recommend another DX scan to see improvement ? Thank you

Hi Kendra, thank you for your video. I have a question for you: usually, after the 12 poses I go on doing some other gym exercise. Is it better for the bones to do Savasana soon after the 12 poses or after the full session 12 poses + ordinary gym? Thank you

@KendraFitzgerald

Жыл бұрын

Hello! This is a great question. First, I love that you are combining this with strength work! If I may make a suggestion - you might try doing the entire 12 poses practice after your gym exercise, since much of it is 'passive' stretching (stretches that are being held) and passive stretching is best done at the end of a workout. Then added bonus, savasana is at the end! What do you think?

Hello! Thanks for your question. You can do either, and each has a different purpose. Breathing inhale + exhale through the nose can be regulating to the nervous system, and exhaling through the mouth can release pent-up heat and also engage the deep core further.

I disagree. Using the word Osteoporosis in the title ensures us that this video will be safe. People with osteoporosis do not have "healthy spines" so just because some poses are good for a healthy spine does not mean they will be safe for osteoporosis.
