Hi @leemiller, Dr. Loren Fishman, Columbia University, School of Medicine has an ongoing study re Yoga and Osteoporosis "12 Poses vs. Osteoporosis" with modified poses, given one's level of ability. The selected poses build bone density and have not caused any injuries. He also has a website, http://www.sciataca.org. You can look at his work there. There are yoga instructors across the country certified in Dr. Fishman's method. If you Google 12 Poses... Dr. Fishman's Method, you can view the video.

I love Dr. Fishman's 12 poses. There are a few variations out there. The official one moves through the poses too fast for me.
Thanks to a post by @barbakp, I found Kendra Fitzgerald's channel on YouTube. The variations of the 12 poses that she teaches aren't too difficult, she does them slowly, and explains them really well.

For anyone who's interested, here's a link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@KendraFitzgerald/search?query=fishman
