Back2Health Yoga, an Iyengar yoga studio in Wappingers
Falls, is offering a Yoga for Scoliosis series from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on September
12, 19, 26 and October 3, 2023. Additionally, they are adding a weekly Back Care and
Scoliosis class for all types of back conditions, including scoliosis; it will
be held on Fridays at 10:30 a.m. beginning October 6, 2023.
“Yoga for scoliosis is a growing specialty
that provides a holistic approach to ease structural imbalances caused by
curves in the spine. Yoga can help improve posture and alignment by stretching
muscles that have tightened and strengthening muscles that have grown weak.
This can help to reduce the curvature of the spine and prevent further
progression of scoliosis,” explains Cristina Roy, studio owner and certified
Iyengar yoga teacher.
In the
four-week series, attendees will learn the foundational skills needed to work
with scoliosis, including understanding their curve pattern and how to modify
poses. During the weekly class, participants will experience a sequence of
poses that lengthen the spine and slowly coax the body into more symmetrical
alignment.
Cost: $205 for the series (includes a private
yoga session; required for new participants); $25 for the class (new students
are encouraged to either attend the series or have a private session before
joining the class). Location: Back2Health Yoga, 6 Broadway Ave., Wappingers
Falls, NY. For more information, call 845.202.2228, email [email protected] or
