De-rotating our Ribs and/or Hips

My mantra for anyone with scoliosis is:  “Lengthen.  Strengthen.  De-rotate the Spine/Hips.”  To me these are the top 3 things anyone with structural or functional scoliosis needs to do daily.  It is what helps our spine and hips stay healthy and hopefully prevents us from progressing in the curves.  AND I have personally found these also have pain-relieving benefits.

This is “Part 3” of the scoli mantra:  De-rotating our Ribs and/or Hips!   You don’t have to have scoli to have rotation in your ribs or pelvis.  But if you do, you need to learn how to de-rotate.  And if you are a yogi, you need to learn NOT to twist in the same direction as your rotation.  Yes, you can do yoga poses asymmetrically!  And many of us SHOULD do them that way.  Learn how to do this and start de-rotating several times a day to bring your body back towards neutral.

Hope you will join me for this online Zoom class by sending an email to Karen@YogaTherapyWithKaren.com.  The class costs $10 unless you are one of my regular monthly class attendees, and then it is free.  Note:  The class will be videoed, so if you can’t make the class in-person, let me know and I can send you the link later.
