The number of people with hip replacement is on the rise, and the largest increase is in the 45-54 age group. If you're a yoga teacher looking to keep your students safe and/or attract more students for privates, it's essential to learn how to teach yoga safely to this group of people.

Can yoga help people preparing for a hip replacement and even help you recover faster? If you already have a hip replacement, which are the yoga postures that are safe and which should you avoid? And, for yoga teachers, which are the teaching practices that are particularly useful for people with hip replacement? These are some of the questions that Dr. Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall will address in this groundbreaking online course.

As the number of yoga practitioners grows, students with special health needs and age-related issues become increasingly common. Such people have much to gain from yoga, but it takes special teaching skills and knowledge to ensure a safe and rewarding practice. This is a unique opportunity to study online with two leading pioneers in the development of safe yoga teaching methodology for people over 50.

This Course Also Includes These Bonuses!

• Yoga Video Practice: Enjoy a 30-minute yoga practice with Ellen Saltonstall illustrating the principles taught in the course.
• Recordings of Both Sessions: Yours to keep. It’s generally acknowledged that many people only retain 10-20 percent of what they learn in a workshop. You will get the recordings of both webinar sessions (both MP3 and MP4), enabling you to go back and listen to the workshop as many times as you like.
• Transcripts of Both Sessions: Ever wanted to refer to a certain part of a course? Even the best note takers miss a point ever so often. With the transcripts of the sessions, you can go back and refer to particularly important passages or clarify sections you were in doubt about.

Loren Fishman, MD

After graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, spending the year 1973 with Mr. Iyengar in Pune, attending every class, public and private, and taking daily instruction, Loren M. Fishman, M.D., was told “You can teach my yoga.” Dr. Fishman then went to medical school, and at Rush, in a Tufts-Harvard Residency program, and as Chief Resident at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, did indeed teach patients, health professionals, and also learned more about yoga and medicine himself. He has been practicing yoga daily since the year he spent with Mr. Iyengar, has written and edited more than 65 academic articles, chapters and books in the philosophy of science, and Rehabilitation Medicine, his field. His work has been reviewed in articles by Jane Brody, Spine, and a number of international periodicals. He is past President of the New York Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, currently Associate Editor of Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, on the staff at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, Treasurer of the Manhattan Institute for Cancer Research, and has a private practice on Park Avenue in Manhattan.
