This module explores how Chair Yoga can support people living with osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteoarthritis. You’ll learn what these conditions are, who they may affect, and the physical and psychological challenges students might experience. Key considerations for safe movement, posture, balance, and confidence-building are covered, along with strategies to minimise fall risks, manage pain, and adapt exercises to individual needs.
Practical guidance focuses on gentle, supportive movements that promote bone health, improve joint mobility, and strengthen muscles around affected areas. You’ll discover Chair Yoga practices and options - using props, mindful transitions, and weight-bearing exercises - that encourage safe, effective, and confidence-building movement for students with these conditions.
