There is a method called the Fishman Method developed by Dr. Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall that uses specific yoga poses to build bone. The loss of bone leading to fracture is a disease called Osteoporosis. If you have osteoporosis, thinning bone, and you fall, you risk fracturing a bone. In order of most prevalent to least prevalent in bone fractures for persons with osteoporosis, is the spine; then, the hips and then the wrists.
One in two women develop osteoporosis and one in five men develop it. For a thorough definition of osteoporosis go to the “Yoga for Osteoporosis” tab on this website or here…..https://www.yogaforthehealthofit.com/yoga-for-osteoporosis/ .
By taking the yoga poses that have the most impact on building bone while maintaining a safe approach with respect to the disease, a session of 6 classes has been developed to help persons interested in building bone. You do not have to have osteoporosis or osteopenia to benefit.
While there is a definite beginning and end to the 6 week session, drop-ins are welcome.
New 6-week series begin regularly. Contact Crystal at 423.431.9358 for scheduling information .
