Dr Loren Fishman is a Manhattan-based physiatrist and yogi who has designed a series of yoga poses that help improve bone density. He has run several clinical trials comparing his yoga method to osteoporosis drugs with impressively positive results. I am trained and certified in his method and would like to offer a workshop in which I teach you this series of poses. The poses in this workshop are modified for older bodies that might not be as flexible, so we use props, including a wall, a chair, and a strap.

I have offered this workshop to members of Health Advocates for Older People in December and would like to offer it again in January. You must be a member of Health Advocates to participate (no charge for membership), and there is no charge for the workshop. Contact Health Advocates for more information and to join.

There will be two sessions: in the first one, I will be presenting information about osteoporosis and bone density and will then demonstrate the poses. The second one is a practice session in which I will demonstrate the poses again but will then watch you so that I can offer corrections, suggestions, and modifications. The presentation will be recorded, and I will also make available a video of me doing the poses.
