If you have already been trained in Dr. Fishman's method and would like to continue the momentum towards reversing osteoporotic bone loss, these virtual maintenance sessions are for you. You will focus on improving alignment, depth of your poses, and hold time. These sessions support personal accountability for sustaining these poses on a daily basis. Poses from Dr. Fishman's second series of poses may be taught as well.

If you are participating in Dr. Fishman's current study, participation in these sessions meets the requirement to work with a certified teacher twice a month.

Taught by Nancy Sessoms, E-RYT 500, Certified in Dr. Fishman's Method for Osteoporosis.

Dates: completed

Yoga for Bone Health is a targeted practice developed by Dr. Loren Fishman, M.D. designed to help maintain a healthy skeleton, strengthen posture, and improve balance. Gloucester Yoga is offering a six-week series taught via Zoom. In this series you will be guided through all three variations of eleven poses and discover which stage is safe but effective for you at this time. The twelfth pose is savasana. The poses can be adapted for all levels of physical ability. Study results show that practicing this regimen for as little as twelve minutes a day can reverse osteoporotic bone loss.

Yoga Instructors can earn 7.5 CE hours.
