Yoga & Scoliosis with Deborah Wolk

Learn about the structure of the spine, the anatomy of scoliosis and how it affects one’s physiology and health. Yoga asanas and principles of sequencing will be practiced and modified for different curvatures and pain issues. Participants will learn how to develop a yoga practice which specifically addresses their own patterns and needs using awareness and alignment.

The morning program will focus more on anatomy and physiology as well as demonstration of physiological principles and basic asana to change patterns. This session can stand alone.

The afternoon will be mainly asana (yoga poses) based with suggestions for home practice, pose modifications and props usage. It is recommended that you take the afternoon session on its own only if you have participated in the morning or have participated in Deborah’s Yoga & Scoliosis workshop in the past.

Deborah’s scoliosis program is open to beginners and advanced practitioners with scoliosis, students with a surgical fusion or Harrington Rod, and to Yoga teachers interested in working with scoliosis. One parent may accompany their teen or younger child for no extra charge.

Deborah Wolk is the co-director of Yoga Union Center for Backcare and Scoliosis. She has presented her highly respected scoliosis workshops throughout the United States and in Europe since 2002. The information and asana presented in the workshop is informed by her work with her own scoliosis as well as years of study with the most knowledgeable senior teachers working with scoliosis in the United States. Her workshops are known for presenting a wealth of clear, concise information that profoundly transform any yoga practice; from the uninitiated to the most advanced.
