Do you have scoliosis? Are you curious how you can adapt your movements to be more beneficial to your own unique curve patterns? Do you wish you could attend a Yoga for Scoliosis class but can't find anyone in your local area who is knowledgeable? If you answered yes to any of these, you are in luck! Mandy is starting an online Yoga for Scoliosis class. Eventually this will be a regular weekly offering. But, for those who are brand new to Yoga for Scoliosis, there is a lot to learn prior to a regular weekly class. This 4-week series is for you.
Each week we'll discuss various aspects of scoliosis like curve vs concavity, lateral spinal shift, rotation, and translation and learn how to use breath, padding and posture to bring ourselves greater support and (over time) greater symmetry.
These classes will be recorded, so if this time of day does not work for you, you can still register and watch the recording later. Mandy will be available to all participants for the month to answer questions on the live Zoom sessions, via email (or a phone call if that is warranted).
This particular series is not meant for those with a spinal fusion and participants should be medically cleared to exercise and be able to get up and down from the floor with relative ease.
We will use the following props: a yoga mat, 2 blocks, a yoga strap, a blanket, a bolster, an armless chair and a wall.
