Seema Bansal teaches Bone Safe CEUs

Updated: Dec 18, 2023


CPF Oncology Yoga teacher Seema Bansal offered a Bone Safe class for our CPF Oncology Yoga teachers on December 17, 2023 on Zoom.


This CEU class was an introduction to her longer weekend Bone Safe course, which she has offered at Yoga Studios in Jacksonville, FL. She covered issues CPF yoga teachers should be aware of when working with students who have, or are at risk for, osteoporosis or osteopenia. She focused on postures that are beneficial for bone health, postures to modify and how to modify postures to minimize risk in our CPF classes. She discussed:


  • Awareness about osteoperosis and why it puts you at risk for fragility fractures and hyperkyphosis

  • Yoga postures that are beneficial for bone health as recommended by BHOF

  • Postures to modify to reduce fracture risk and how to modify the postures as recommended by BHOF

  • Postures to avoid and minimize as recommended by BHOF

The links below are for CPF Yoga Teachers to further their study and reading about bone health.
