Weight Loss Yoga for Scoliosis or Anyone

Hi Louise...
All the standing poses like Warrior 1, 2 and 3, Twisting lunge, forward bend, Fan pose, triangle, reverse triangle, parsvottanasana, side angle pose...and seated poses like core navasana and other core poses, seated twists, forward bends and pigeon would be great. Also, instead of your hands on the floor during plank, try forearms down so you can build arm and core strength! xoSadie

Hi Sadie,
I have a painful scoliosis and I so need to do yoga to open up and relieve tension! Problem is I have a wrist injury, and I can't do plank or any other such poses. Do you have any tips? Many thanks, Louise

Thanks! It will help you not go deeper into curvature or imbalances, but remember, everyone's spine is different, and you gotta work with what you have. Any good yoga practice will keep you balanced and healthy where you are. This is a great place to start! xoSadie

Hey Sadie!
I am really happy that you have done this amazing video,
I am going to practise this right now, hope it will help me with my scoliosis!
LOVE

This is "Right On". Thank you

Hi!
You want to counterbalance your curvature, without pushing it too much. So if you have a curve that goes to the right, that means the right side of your spine is shortened. So sidebends to the left will help. If you have a curve that's posterior [bowing out behind you], then the spine there is compressed forward. slight backbends will help. Every scoliosis spine is different, so you want to keep track of what curves where in yours, and overdo or longer-hold poses on one side, depending.

hey i was wondering if you could have more info on which sides to be doing the excercises on depending on your the side of your curve that would help
thanks

I'm glad it's working for you. Keep letting me know what I can do. I'm so happy to help, and happy to hear it's making a difference in your life.
