This was so invigorating and at a perfect pace for someone who doesn't done any yoga for a few years. Thanks David.

Thanks for letting me do yoga with you for years! But I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, especially in the upper spine, and have been warned by two MDs to not twist or round my back, including forward bends. However, I cannot find any real evidence that bending or twisting has actually caused spinal fractures. What's your opinion? Do you know of good quality research done on this topic? Thanks in advance.

Hi David - I'm not necessarily your target audience for this class, but as a teacher I still loved slowing a sequence down to cater for a specific type of student. My Yoga for Men classes I run locally have many that join my class and would benefit from some of these more subtle movements to realise the benefits without overstraining themselves. It can be so challenging moving in space through poses, so I really like the use of the strap through many of these poses. Really looking to practicing the lower body class next - thank you.
