Join Loren M. Fishman, M.D., B. Phil.
(oxon.) for a workshop on Iyengar Yoga for Lower Back Pain. We will
explore some major causes of back pain to gain a better understanding of
these different pain-generating mechanisms as well as yoga postures to
help manage, alleviate, and even cure symptoms. This cannot be done
without knowledge of the causes, since very different conditions may
cause the same symptoms, and have different, even opposite treatments.
We will discuss movements that are beneficial for each condition as well
as movements to be avoided for each of them. Learn to modify your yoga
practice to facilitate healing and avoid causing these problems in the
first place.
This workshop is suitable for anyone
suffering lower back pain or wishes to avoid it, and those people who
work with those with pain, including:
- Yoga Practitioners
- Yoga Teachers and Yoga Therapists
- Body Workers
- Physical Therapists and other Medical Practitioners
Dr.
Fishman integrates yoga into his physical medicine and rehabilitation
practice in New York City. He has conducted clinical trials studying the
benefits of yoga for osteoporosis, piriformis syndrome, and rotator
cuff tears, and is considered a creative pioneer in the field of yoga
therapy. Author of six books about yoga and medical conditions, Loren
studied yoga with B. K. S. Iyengar for a year in India, and has practiced yoga daily since.
