Yoga for Scoliosis with Elise Browning Miller
June 3, 2016 @ 1:30 pm - June 4, 2016 @ 6:00 pm
Friday – Saturday June 3 and 4, 2016
Elise Miller presents her internationally acclaimed workshop on working with scoliosis. This workshop is designed to present information and experience in the ways that Iyengar Yoga can be used to meet the challenges of scoliosis. We will include an anatomical background on scoliosis, identify each participant’s scoliosis, and discuss cause and effect as well as psychological consequences of scoliosis.
Participants will learn optimal yoga postures for scoliosis as well as how to adapt specific yoga postures to their scoliosis. By combining the yoga postures with breathing awareness, one can develop more structural alignment of the body and become more symmetrical and balanced. Through yoga, one can find the balance point that allows the scoliosis curve to coexist with gravity and activates the body’s natural plumb line.
This workshop is appropriate for anyone with scoliosis whether he/she is currently a yoga student or not. Teachers and teachers-in-training are also urged to attend to gain knowledge and be more skillful when assisting their students with scoliosis.
Participants who teach yoga may use this workshop for on-going education and apply hours toward a certificate in Yoga for Scoliosis.
