“Yoga exercises, the postures or asanas of Hatha Yoga, are an excellent means of adjusting the spinal vertebrae to release the pressure on the spinal nerves and bring about the normal flow of life force in the nervous system, promoting healing of many diseases.” – Paramahansa Yogananda, Page 417 in The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You
One of the most satisfying aspects of Yoga Therapy for me is to teach people how to heal themselves of chronic and/or severe back pain. Often they have been suffering for many years and have not found a solution.
A few days ago I received this email with the subject:
Healing Story
Dear Mr. Popovsky,
I am writing to you to inform you of another success story that merged from your DVD “Heal Your Back Now!”.
I have an acquaintance in the building where I work, I saw him a week or so ago, looking at him I felt something was definitely wrong so I ask him, he said ” Trevor, my back is killing me, has been killing me for a long time and it is getting worse and worse, the doctors don’t understand what is wrong, but they say surgery “might” help”.
Needless to say, I told him about your DVD, but I said there is only one catch, by just getting the DVD won’t help, you have to do it and you have to practice according Mr. Popovsky instructions on the tape.
He said “Please when can I have it”. It was Friday the 10th when we had this conversation.
Two days later, on Monday, I gave him the DVD… and very next day in the afternoon I saw him. He was walking with confidence, so I ask him how he felt.
He said “It is unreal, I feel great! there is no more pain, I even took the braces off (I didn’t know he was wearing braces) and I am getting ready to play tennis again”.
Asked him “how long did you practice” he answered “Three hours non stop”.
When I saw him again few days later, he said “I did play tennis with someone who always beats me. This time I was able to beat him”.
Now this guy is not a praying type, but his last words were “I been praying for you guys every day”.
I thought you would be interested in hearing this story.
IDF,
Trevor Pilibosian
Because I am well aware of how valuable success stories such as this can be to inspire others to practice and succeed in healing themselves with yoga, I asked Mr. Pilibosian if he would be comfortable allowing me to publish his email on this blog and in emails that I send out. Here is his response.
By all means, I am very comfortable with the idea of you using my letter in any way you may wish. Because I am convinced that with your DVDs you are doing much good and helping many people that couldn’t be helped otherwise. Especially what you have done with “Heal Your Back Now!“ DVD only good results can come from it. IT is so thoughtful and so well planned with such keen common sense and deep knowhow and intuitive feelings that whoever applies it will benefit from it, providing they do the exercises correctly according to the instructions.
I know this first hand. I didn’t have any serious back problem but I did have light lower and upper back pain that made me uncomfortable. When I did the exercises as instructed on your DVD the results were immediate. not only my pains were gone but my whole body was relaxed and felt good. Because of this every time I see someone suffering with this type of pain I highly recommend your DVD and whoever have used it the results have been immediate.
One such case was my niece. She was suffering from a back pain, she has been going to massage therapist and chiropractors on and off for a long time, they all have helped but few days later she was in pain again.
Finally I was able to convince her to apply the exercises that are on “Heal Your Back Now!“ DVD.
The very next day she comes in smiling and dancing, she was feeling so good she couldn’t contain herself, and the best part was she didn’t have to go anywhere to get the therapy, she could do it right in her own house… anytime.
In Master’s Love and divine friendship,

Patience & A Big Note
The two people that Mr. Pilibosian gave the dvd to, as well as he himself, achieved pain-free results the first day. However, please note that the man Mr. Pilibosian talked about did “Three hours non stop”.
While I do tell people that they can expect a reduction in pain soon, usually in the first session, I do not say that the pain will be completely gone in the first session. If there is one thing I try to help all of my students to learn, it is patience.
As Bob Mullen, founder of Mullen Advertising in Phoeniz, Arizona once said to me, “You understand what you are in for when you try to teach patience to Americans, don’t you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Americans are people who believe that instant gratification takes too long.”
So along with, and as a part of, self-healing, I try to teach all my students Patience, without which there is no real progress in Yoga.
In fact, there is a saying in Yoga that goes, “The fastest progress in Yoga comes slowly.” But the good news is that it tends to be permanent.

Hola Norman,
I have just began doing your neck excercises.
It is nice to feel that you are guiding me through them.
I know that soon they will help me with my back too.
Gracias.
Thank you, Flor. I wish you success in your practice.
Namaste’,
Norm
Norman,
How can I get your DVD here in Mexico? Anything to help my back would be a life saver.
Carroll
Carroll, Nice to hear from you.
You can order my Heal Your Back Now! DVD at https://www.createspace.com/208903
They should ship to Mexico, since I know of people in Japan and other countries who have bought my DVDs from CreateSpace.com
Have you ordered things from USA companies before? Did they arrive in good shape? Did they arrive?
Personally, I use La Conexion mail service to bring mail from the border down to me here in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I use the private mail service because with the Mexican mail I have had some orders take a month to get here and other things to not arrive at all.
Do you use a similar service? If not, and if you don’t trust the Mexican mail, let me know and we will see how to get the DVD to you.
I think that you will be very happy with my Heal Your Back Now! DVD. I have gotten a a lot of positive feedback on this DVD even for people who have had chronic back pain for many years.
Carroll, when you practice with this DVD, you will find that it will work well for any kind of joint or muscle pain, high blood pressure, tension, self-healing, and as a basis to learn the proper attitude with which to practice your yoga and meditation.
Let me know how you are progressing and how I may help you,
Norm
