Yoga Therapy for Scoliosis – FREE Q&A Session
Do you have an extra-curvy spine? I do! And many others do too. You are not alone and there are many things in yoga therapy that can help you manage pain, improve your posture and increase overall well-being. I am constantly learning more and more yoga therapy techniques to help bring myself and my clients into better balance. And now we have the chance to work together in a group! This is a five-month course which will end in January. We will meet online one day each month for 75 minutes to focus on an important concept for those of us with curvy spines. (We’ll decide on the day/time once we meet as a group.)
This five-month program is packed with valuable content. Although we only meet once a month online, you will receive videos, pain-relief sequences, yoga pose adaptations for your curves, helpful hints about scoliosis and more throughout the weeks. We’ll start with a one-on-one assessment that evaluates your health history, your posture and hopefully determine what kind of curve you have. You will learn Dr. Loren Fishman’s recommended poses for strengthening the weak muscles in your spine. My “scoli poses” take me 5 minutes every day but they have helped me reduce pain and get stronger at the same time. These poses are critical to learn and need to become your daily wellness habit. After each monthly class you will receive a custom practice sheet for you to use. This practice sheet will emphasize the important concept you have learned that month and will enable you to incorporate it into your everyday life and yoga practice. Then the next month we tackle a new concept. By the end of January you will have learned a tremendous amount about your spine and have created new habits of self-care that are helpful for you and your spine.
The “kick-off” session on September 15th will be an information-gathering time. We will meet virtually together and talk about plans for this program and you can ask any questions you may have. If you decide to join the group, we’ll schedule your one-on-one assessment time (virtually or in-person if you are local and vaccinated). And, by the way, if you are a yoga teacher that does not have a curvy spine but would like to learn more to help your students, you are welcome to join as well.
The cost of this yoga therapy series is $150 and spaces are limited. I hope you will join me in this exciting program on learning to live with extra-curvy spines!
