Discover how you can experience greater calm and focus, improve flexibility and balance, and increase core strength and range of motion WHILE BUILDING AND MAINTAINING BONES with this specialized gentle yoga practice.
This targeted bonebuilding yoga program, developed by Manhattan-based physiatrist Dr. Loren Fishman, has been validated by the National Institutes of Health, which concluded that it “appears to be a safe and effective means to reverse bone loss in the spine and femur” and found “qualitative evidence suggesting improved bone quality.”
This program is taught by Laraine, who has been teaching yoga in hospitals, yoga studios, schools and gyms for over 20 years, and is certified by Dr. Fishman to teach this specialized method. She offers several variations and modifications for the postures so that they are accessible, and enhances the practice with yoga breathwork, meditation, warm-up “vinyasa” flows and core exercises. Laraine provides a curated list of props (many with items around your house) to create your own private yoga studio. She also provides simple instructions to connect a larger screen to your device for an enhanced Zoom experience.
