Yoga for Lower Back Pain Training – Self-Paced

Program Description

In this self-paced training, Dr. Fishman will explain seven basic causes of low back pain and teach you how to identify the proper one, relieve the pain it produces, and avoid the causes of pain in the first place.

Back pain can bewilder even seasoned therapists. This is partially because back pain and sciatica are symptoms, and effective treatment requires finding the cause.

This course is designed to help participants with their own back pain, aid them in understanding and alleviating back pain in others, and guide them in using Yoga to relieve and prevent future back pain. This straightforward approach uses anatomy, but requires no previous study.

Dr. Fishman has seen more than 20,000 patients with back pain and written five books and a large number of academic papers about Yoga for back pain. Dr. Fishman’s assistant, Liz Larson, RYT 200, is a precise and intuitive teacher who has worked with Dr. Fishman for 5 years.

This workshop includes access to:

• Recorded lectures by Dr. Fishman and assistant Liz Larson
• Guided meditation video
• A talk and a Yoga Nidra session by Sri Swami Satchidananda
• Integral Yoga Hatha class video

* Please note that this self-paced program is a recording of Dr. Fishman’s 2021 online training, during which participants had the opportunity to teach to the group. For privacy protection, we have added visuals in place of the participants’ images.

Testimonials

The program was excellent and extensive—totally loaded with good info! — Past Participant

This was another one of Dr. Fishman’s fantastic educational trainings! The interactive aspects and his assistant Liz provided great visuals and applications. I would attend more trainings/workshops with Dr.Fishman. He genuinely enjoys helping people and explains what he is teaching from both a medical perspective and a yogic perspective. Most importantly he imparts kindness and great wisdom, always in such a cheerful way. We leave with many golden nuggets. Thank you, Dr.Fishman and Yogaville for a great learning experience! — Mona Flynn
