Yoga for Spinal Fusion, Scoliosis, and Back Pain

View Original

New beginnings this Spring!

I'm happy to finally share that I've been expanding my training and studies into pilates for scoliosis! 

Learning a new movement modality had been a fun challenge. Yoga has served me very well in many ways through the decades, yet it's been a joy to add in something different. Through pilates, I've learned more about my scoliosis, experienced my 3-dimensional rotations in new ways, and have felt muscles in new ways.  

In mat pilates, there's the simplicity of a mat, which similar to yoga, makes it accessible to do anywhere. However, there's such a leap of experience in using a reformer to aid in stability while challenging the body with different types of resistance work. 

So far I've done training and will continue to learn from Karena Thek's Scolio-Pilates, as well as the Polestar Scoliosis Pilates course taught by Lise Stolze and Hagit Berdishevsky. 

Local students may work with me at LKN Pilates where I'm teaching a scoliosis-focused yoga and pilates class series in March. It's a beautiful space with all the apparatuses you could want.
