Yoga for Back Pain Open Clinic – Online

Struggling with back pain and looking for Yoga to help? Join Dr. Fishman, a world-recognized pioneer in the use of Yoga for the treatment of lower back pain, for Yoga for Back Pain Open Clinic – Online.

This seminar-style virtual gathering is similar to the NPR show “Car Talk”, but for back pain. People with back pain will present their issues live while Dr. Fishman and assistant Liz Larson figure out what is wrong and give them Yoga to help. A few weeks later, they will check in to see how they are doing.

Dr. Fishman recognizes that you cannot rationally treat symptoms like back pain, weakness, and numbness without identifying the cause. He divides back pain into seven main causes. The session will focus first on identifying what is wrong, and then on assigning and possibly teaching the proper Yoga remedy. Each presentation and treatment will probably take 15–20 minutes, so 6–8 people will be seen in the two-hour session.

Live session with Dr. Fishman on Sunday at 2–4 pm ET.

You will have access to the video recordings for 8 weeks after the program ends, until February 7, 2021.

In addition, you will have access to the Ashram’s Live Hatha Yoga classes at 5 pm ET and access to an online social community to connect and communicate with other participants about this course.
