Yoga & Scoliosis
with Jen Gorman
Saturdays
Jan 17, 24, 31, Feb 7
4:30-6:15PM
Join Jen Gorman for this 4-class series focused on practicing yoga with scoliosis.
Oftentimes those of us with scoliosis experience a sense of compression in the spine. We may also experience that the back feels overworked, tired, and even fibrotic on one side. In this series we’ll explore how to use our yoga practice – awareness, breath, poses – to address some of these concerns that living with scoliosis entails.
Each class will highlight an important aspect of working with scoliosis:
Sagittal alignment considerations and axial elongation
Global expansion
Anatomy of the scoliotic spine and concavities/convexities
Trunk imbalance
Jen will then incorporate each topic into that day’s yoga class through poses (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and mindfulness. She will help each participant to understand their curve pattern and how best to modify poses to best suit the individual body, with the use of props to support.
This workshop is intended for people (and their friends and family) with scoliosis and wellness practitioners who work with these clients. People with spinal fusions are always welcome!
Prior experience with yoga is helpful but all levels
may participate.
