Welcome back to the  Her Story: Osteoporosis series of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast. Join us as we dive into the world of bone health with women with a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia sharing experiences, insights, and strategies for leading a stronger life and taking control of their bone health. Today Debi talks to Carol Lamden MD, a retired pediatrician, Yoga Therapist and lover of ballet about how she got involved with yoga in medicine, why “just do yoga” isn’t going to solve your issues and the ultimate goal of yoga. Carol realized that she needed to offer more healing modalities to her patients over the years. She became intrigued with learning more about mind-body connection and yoga, and in particular yoga therapy as a great option for her patients as it offers a customized approach and tailors a yoga practice to the individuals specific needs. Join Debi and Carol as they share their experiences in Yoga therapy training and discuss why Carol is still learning, working with conventional medicine and staying in the “can” zone.
