Chicago's First Yoga for Teens with Scoliosis Class

January 2020— Wellness In Motion LLC launches Chicago's first Yoga for Teens with Scoliosis class. Jen Gorman, founder of Wellness In Motion LLC, will teach these classes at Yoga Circle in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. The classes will provide safe, therapeutic, positive movement experiences for adolescents in a supportive environment. In addition, the classes offer an opportunity to build community through a shared experience.

The Yoga for Teens with Scoliosis class will focus on the fundamentals of working with scoliosis: breath, neutral spine, axial elongation, global expansion, and dynamic alignment. Jen Gorman will teach yoga with assistance of props and a rope wall to help students find the most optimal poses for their bodies. She will also facilitate activities to build community and the time spent getting to know each other will contribute to dealing with the psychological challenges and social pressures that adolescents face as a result of treatment for scoliosis.
