I did tai chi for 14 years and still suffered three spinal fractures. If you have osteopenia or even mild osteoporosis, by all means try Fishman's yoga. Margaret Martin is another great resource. If your osteoporosis is more severe, I would be careful doing the exercises (Martin modifies yoga for those with osteoporosis and Fishman may too) and I personally would not rely on exercise to heal the bone loss.

Hi there @windyshores, I like Margaret Martin very much and Dr. Fishman does modify the yoga poses. I also use a whole body vibration exerciser and take alendronate in addition to supplements. All the best, Teri
