  • Grateful Yoga 1108 Davis Street Evanston, IL, 60201 United States (map)

We are living longer lives, which means we are likely to encounter one or more health concerns associated with normal aging. There is growing interesting in finding ways to address these conditions without relying solely on medication.

Loren Fishman, MD together with yoga therapist Ellen Saltonstall are pioneers in using yoga to improve bone health. They have conducted research that demonstrates a clear correlation between regular yoga practice and improved bone density without the side effects of many osteoporosis medications.

This 6- week series will draw upon the 3 x 12 pose series that have shown to support bone health in Dr. Fishman's research, exploring the third series in greater depth. The postures will be adapted to make them accessible to all levels and abilities, with a focus on establishing a strong independent practice for you to continue at home.

You will learn the practice from yoga teacher and physical therapist Becky Paulin-Liston, who is certified by Loren and Ellen in this approach.
