Back2Health Yoga, an Iyengar yoga studio in Wappingers Falls, is offering a four-week Yoga for Scoliosis series starting on May 22, 2025. The classes will take place Thursdays at 5:30 p.m.
“This series will teach you the foundational skills you need to work with scoliosis or spinal fusions,” shares owner Cristina Roy. “You’ll learn how to understand your curve pattern and how to modify poses to improve spinal length and alignment.”

Participants will learn about their specific scoliosis curve pattern, the anatomy of the spine and how to adjust poses to fit their body. “You’ll experience a sequence of poses that lengthen your spine and improve alignment, helping to relieve structural imbalances,” explains Roy, who is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher and yoga for scoliosis trainer.

Yoga for scoliosis is a holistic practice that helps stretch tight muscles and strengthen those weakened by the condition. “Yoga can improve posture, reduce the curvature of the spine and help prevent further progression,” adds Roy. “Developing a consistent yoga practice gives you hope that you can take action to improve your condition.”

This methodical four-week series builds upon each class to guide participants through a steady progression. The cost includes a required private yoga session for new participants.
