What Makes Bone Health Pilates Different from Pilates?
We follow national guidelines for osteoporosis — modifying the exercises you love in ways that help your bones, not strain them. You can still do everything you love — just smarter.
No forward bending. Flexion places too great a load on bones, so we work in neutral and extension. You can still do a Pilates Teaser — we do it sitting up.
No rotation that loads the spine. You can still work your waist. I've developed ways to strengthen oblique muscles without rotation.
What You'll Learn
Over 25 years of experience helping people feel their strength, balance and move with greater confidence and freedom.
Learn to:
Protect and stimulate bone density
Lay a protective coat of muscle over bones
Decompress posture and stabilize balance
Develop fall prevention strategies
Build the core strength you would expect from Pilates — with bone health modifications
Equipment
We use a 9” soft Pilates ball and weights. We incorporate whatever else the group has on hand, including Large fitness ball, resistance band, foam roller, and feet balls. The large ball is recommended.
What Students Say:
" I love the convenience of Bone Health remote classes and Julie is so wonderful in creating an atmosphere that feels like we're all in the same room. She continues to bring new ideas and elements into each week's class just as she did when I started taking her classes in person many years ago. And she is so spot on in identifying our movement/alignment and when necessary, helping us make the subtle adjustments so that the exercises have the greatest impact. It's very impressive!!" Laura, Deerfield, IL
"Julie's Bone Health class is the perfect way to start your week! I am much stronger and more flexible due to taking her classes. Julie's deep knowledge of bone health and body anatomy informs each class. She integrates this knowledge to keep class interesting and fun. She is also attentive to each person's form and gently corrects us if needed. I enjoy that I can attend from anywhere and don't have to leave the house to get to class. Julie's classes support my goal to stay healthy and strong." Vicki, Deerfield, IL
"I love working with Julie because she is very knowledgeable about bone health. She provides the right balance of continually encouraging me to get stronger, in a way I feel safe and comfortable." Susan, Highland Park, IL
"I am very much aware of the mental connections Julie makes to our muscles as we are moving. Julie brings such grace and knowledge to us all and I am so appreciative. I am grateful to be able to continue to learn from Julie in our bone health classes." Renee, South Haven, MI
