New forum for teachers
Welcome. I am excited to launch "Teaching Yoga" as a new forum especially for yoga teachers. We know a growing number of yoga teachers utilize YogaBasics for information and inspiration and we hope to further support all of the yoga instructors in the world through this forum.

Please let us know how we can further support and inspire you. And please feel free to share your tips, insights and ideas to the other teachers on this forum.
Namaste,
Timothy

Re:New forum for teachers
Thanks for your question. I would advise that when dealing with students with osteoporosis back stress fractures, or osteoporosis in general, that you should avoid teaching them forward bends. Keep their spine straight and increase the length and space in their spine by instructing them in standing postures.
