Enough literature have been
used to state the benefit of weight-bearing exercises in bone strengthening. It
has also been stated that they prevent osteoporosis. You will be lifting your
own weight many times in many Yoga postures you take. Some postures such as the
Upward and Downward Facing Dog will also help strengthen your arm.
A work was
conducted in California State University, Los Angelis, but not published, showing
that bone density becomes increased with Yoga practice. Sufficient calcium can
also be sustained in the bones if you are able to lower stress hormone cortisol
in the body.
