Caring for the Curve
Workshop Series
This interactive workshop is specifically designed to assist people with scoliosis in defining their curves, aligning their spines and learning individualized positions and exercises. The exercises will focus on helping students to align, elongate, and strengthen their backs and to move with less pain in daily life and exercise. The workshop will provide students with both a visual, as well as positional, "template" to best align and minimize the curve. This will be integrated in session 1 with daily function in common positions including lying, sitting, standing, and walking. Session 2 will focus on yoga postures in lying, sitting, kneeling, and standing positions.
We recommend attending both sessions for the greatest benefit.
Each session will run approximately 2 hours.
