Individuals with osteoporosis can also practice yoga, but the intensity must be carefully controlled. Some yoga poses require supporting the body’s weight with the hands or feet. In individuals with osteoporosis, insufficient core strength may increase the risk of fractures—for example, an elbow fracture may occur unintentionally while bearing weight on the elbows. Wishing you good health!
