In this tutorial José explains what scoliosis is, the different types of scoliosis, how you can recognise it and how you can still practice and benefit from yoga if you have it. As always, José’s instructions are based on the functional approach to yoga; we all have different bodies so the effects and benefits can vary according to the individual. Therefore, it’s important to adapt the poses to your possibilities. If you have scoliosis and want to practice yoga, José explains which areas of the torso to target, which sensations you want to feel and which to avoid. She also explains how you can adapt poses in order to reap their benefits.

After this talk, you might like to practice José's Yoga for scoliosis class.
