After graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, spending the year 1973 with Mr. Iyengar in Pune, Loren M. Fishman, M.D graduated from Rush Presbyterian St. Lukes Medical School, was in a Tufts-Harvard Residency program, and then was Chief Resident in Rehabilitation at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He wrote computerized programs to treat cognitive deficits, some now patented by IBM, and artificial intelligence ways to predict patients’ safe length of hospital stay. His interests broadened and now he has written and edited more than 100 academic articles and chapters, including 12 books. To date he has helpfully applied yoga to osteoporosis, scoliosis, rotator cuff syndrome, arthritis, knee and hip problems, insomnia, weight management, anxiety, restless leg syndrome, and an objective scale for pain. The British Medical Journal uses his system for low back pain in Ipocrates, its on-line tool for doctors. His work has been reviewed in articles by Jane Brody of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Spine, Muscle and Nerve, 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 University Medical School, Treasurer of the National Zoster Foundation, has been a Keynote speaker at the International Association of Yoga Practitioners’ meetings, and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. He has been extensively interviewed in the media, including on Diane Sawyer’s World News, NPR, J. Brown Yogaberry and Yoga Dork. He has been listed in Castle and Connolly’s “Best Doctors” more than 10 times. Dr. Fishman also has a private medical practice in Manhattan.

I feel privileged to be under the tutelage of Dr. Loren Fishman. Dr. Fishman's teaching style was interactive, supportive, and transparent. I was particularly enthralled by his demonstrative and experiential way of teaching. His teaching style was rich with his experiences and expertise which fostered reflective thinking in us. Dr. Fishman encouraged us to ask questions when they come up, and participate actively in demonstrations and discussions. What also struck me was how Dr. Fishman consolidated complex medical information and made it easy for us to learn. I'm grateful to Liz for her tremendous support to us as well. She broke down and demonstrated each asana with utmost clarity. I really appreciate MyYogaTeacher for making it possible for us to learn from an expert of Dr. Fishman's caliber. Thank you!

Dr Loren is a treasure: so generous with his knowledge and time, kind and sensitive to his student's challenges. So appreciated Liz too; so inspired to go deeper with my own practice and therapy. Indebted to MYT for making this possible

That was great. Allow more Q&A time in the future or ask us to submit the questions ahead of time so the speaker will be prepared.
