Yoga
for scoliosis workshop:
"Unwind your spine with this ancient practice of breath,
mindfulness and joy"
Yoga is about balancing all facets of your life: physically, emotionally, intellectually,
energetically, and spiritually. Experience how realigning your spine will free up your energy on all these levels.
The body will always move towards balance; that is often the problem when scoliosis increases. The beautiful postures will
restore balance while teaching you new ways of being aligned in your life.
All levels welcome. For
spinal curves greater than 35 degrees, or specific questions, please consult with Kathy before registering.
