Wai Lana Yoga : Minimize Muscle Loss with Yoga
Our muscles naturally start to shorten and lose mass in our 30's. Did you know that people who don't exercise can lose as much as 3 to 5% of their muscle mass every decade after the age of 30? Yoga's wide variety of poses enables you to stretch and strengthen all the muscles in your body, helping to prevent muscle loss.
Practicing yoga poses also helps minimize bone loss. During menopause, when the body's estrogen levels drop, many women develop brittle bones. The key to minimizing this is to build and preserve bone density. By placing gentle stress on the bones, yoga's weight-bearing poses stimulate the growth of new bone. A 2-year pilot study of people with bone loss showed positive improvements in bone density in those who regularly practiced yoga postures.
