For certified yoga teachers & students with back conditions. All levels welcome.
Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis is different from other types of yoga. It's a specialized practice designed specifically for students with back conditions, including herniation, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, general back pain, and joint issues.
As yoga teachers, when we understand how to adapt practices intelligently and effectively, we can guide students in bringing awareness to their postural patterns and habits - and that awareness can create incredible change.
Working with neutral spine, joint stability, and specialized strength-work practices support students in relieving discomfort, alleviating pain, developing strength safely, and engaging with yoga in a way that feels joyful and sustainable.
I’ve seen students arrive feeling hopeless, convinced their backs could only get worse, and leave feeling confident that they can navigate their practice and daily life with more ease, strength, and freedom of movement. They reconnect to the activities they love, move with clarity, and cultivate a sense of vitality they thought was lost.
This 3-day immersion offers a hands-on, experiential approach to Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis - practical tools and guided practice to support students in exploring yoga safely, effectively, and with awareness.
