Learn how to teach yoga safely for scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition that affects 1-3% of the overall population with some studies even showing 60% of adults over 60 being affected!
Physical exercise, Pilates and yoga are usually recommended to those that suffer from scoliosis, however, as this is a complex condition there are a few things we have to consider as yoga teachers if we want to teach yoga safely to those that suffer from it.

The training is a recording of a live online workshop which took place in October 2021
If you are a yoga teacher looking for more clarity on the subject of scoliosis, I highly recommend Christine's workshop. Through her presentations, I now have a better understanding of how to better support an aging yoga student who is challenged with scoliosis-related discomfort.
Barbara Peter - Yoga Teacher
It was a really interesting and engaging workshop for teachers new to scoliosis and also for those with some knowledge. It boosted my own confidence as a teacher. I know a lot about my own curve so it was great to understand more about other curve types.

As Yoga Teachers or movement educator you are probably love to share the benefits of yoga with your student and you would like your classes to feel welcoming and inclusive. Scoliosis is a very common and it's important to have a good understanding of the condition and feel fully equipped with all the tools you need to support your students.
In this workshop you will gain the knowledge that you need to confidently welcome students that have scoliosis or spinal fusion in your classes.
Teaching yoga for scoliosis was delivered with skill and humor. This course was organized in such a way that there was a thread of understanding that made approaches clear. The power point and videos enabled me to clearly understand the verbal information. Christine delivers information in such a way that doesn’t seem dogmatic but as guidance. The Course was perfect.

What a great few hours spent with Christine on her scoliosis workshop for yoga teachers. As a physio and yoga teacher, it increased my knowledge base to improve my assessments for my scoliosis clients and gave me ideas for treatment I hadn't used before. Christine took the time to explain thoroughly and included a lovely practical session with an explanation of the positions and lots of time for questions at the end. I'm looking forward to attending another workshop with her again in the future.
