When: Sunday 14th January 2024

Time: 6-8.30pm GMT

Where: Online via Zoom

Cost: Included as part of the SHINE Membership. £60 for non-members

Workshop Description

I am offering this special workshop to help de-mystify s curve Scoliosis. What does it mean exactly, which muscles to strengthen/lengthen and what does it mean for your yoga practice. 

S curves (or sometimes also called reversed s curves) are the most common scoliosis curve patterns but even within the category of s curves there are some big differences which are important to consider in your practice. 

In this workshop you will learn about the characteristics of s curve scoliosis and the different compensations are important to know in your movement practice. After a short presentation we will analyse some different examples of s curves (volunteers will be welcome!) and then finish with a movement practice specifically adapted to the challenges of s curve scoliosis. 

You will need:

• 3 small hand towels
• 1 yoga block
• pen and paper
