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, 2023, and October 3, 2023. Additionally, a weekly Back Care and Scoliosis class—for all types of back conditions, including scoliosis—is being added to the schedule on Fridays at 10:30 a.m. beginning on October 6, 2023.

“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. “Yoga for scoliosis is a growing specialty that provides a holistic approach to ease structural imbalances caused by curves in the spine.”

In the four-week Yoga for Scoliosis 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 Back Care and Scoliosis class, participants will experience a sequence of poses that lengthen the spine and slowly coax the body into more symmetrical alignment.
