Yoga for Osteoporosis: Series III with Masha Leuner
Four Wednesdays
January 21, January 28, February 4, February 11
12-1:15pm • Brookline & Livestream
A continuation of Series I & II
Join Masha Leuner for a transformative 4-week series based on Dr. Loren Fishman’s acclaimed Yoga for Osteoporosis method. This practice emphasizes strength, stability, and safe alignment, with focused attention on the spine and hips—areas most vulnerable to fracture and essential to lifelong mobility.
Building on the foundations of earlier series, each session integrates both foundational and progressively advanced postures, offering a comprehensive and adaptable experience for returning students. Breathwork supports longer hold times, regulates the nervous system, and enhances respiratory function, helping you build resilience from the inside out.
This series is appropriate for all levels (no need to have taken Series I/II to enroll!) and continues to provide practical, research-supported tools to strengthen your home practice safely and confidently.
What You’ll Gain
Clear understanding of alignment, safe movement, and contraindications
Tools to strengthen, evolve, and personalize your home yoga practice
Techniques to improve bone density, balance, and proprioception
Confidence practicing a method grounded in medical research
About the Method
Developed by Dr. Loren Fishman, MD, this approach has demonstrated that consistent practice of 12–24 targeted postures can help reverse the effects of osteoporosis and osteopenia, particularly in the spine and hips. Featured in The New York Times, Dr. Fishman’s method continues to shape the modern understanding of bone health, aging, and mindful, therapeutic movement.

About Masha
Masha began practicing yoga in 2005 and quickly became a devoted student. Over time, she became increasingly aware that chronic stress was pushing her body toward burnout. Balancing a fast-paced corporate career, a new baby, and a practice that was calling for radical change became unsustainable. In 2016, she left the corporate world and enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training in Boston. She has been teaching in Boston ever since.
Masha’s teaching style has evolved over the years, yet her core intention remains the same: to offer yoga as a practical tool for self-inquiry and support the body’s innate capacity to heal.
