MOST HEALTH INSURANCES REIMBURSE FOR THIS 8 WEEK SESSION!

Yoga for Bone Health is a targeted therapeutic practice developed by Dr. Loren Fishman, MD for maintaining a healthy skeleton, strengthening posture and improving balance. This unique set of 12 poses was practiced by individuals with osteoporosis in a validated study featured in the New York Times showing that yoga reversed the effects of osteoporosis/osteopenia in the spine and hips. Laraine, who has been teaching yoga in hospitals, yoga studios, schools and gyms for over 20 years, is certified by Dr. Fishman to teach this specialized method, and offers several variations and modifications for the postures so that they are accessible to all. She also enhances the practice with yoga breathwork, meditation, and warm-up "vinyasa" flows, and has added Dr. Fishman's Series Two and Series Three postures (24 more postures). Not only will this practice strengthen your bones and physical body, but it will calm your mind, deepen your breath, and improve your posture, balance, flexibility, joint mobility and focus. For the online class, 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. A gentle class, with no prior yoga experience necessary

*Each class has optional Bonus Breathwork and Meditation at 9:45 am and optional Bonus Deep Rest at 11:15 am

Classes are taught by Laraine Lippincott. Read more about Bone Health at bonebuildingyoga.com.
