June is Scoliosis Awareness Month! and I are hosting a free Yoga & Scoliosis Class + Social.
4:30-6pm Class (downstairs studio)
6-6:30pm Social (downstairs lobby)
Please feel free to join both times or just one.
Join Jen Gorman and other adults living with scoliosis for this introductory yoga and scoliosis class + social.
During the class portion, Jen will discuss the sagittal curves of the spine as well as two key concepts of working with scoliosis: axial elongation and global expansion. Oftentimes those of us with scoliosis experience a sense of compression in the spine. We may also experience that the back feels overworked, tired, and even fibrotic on one side. Jen will talk about how to integrate axial elongation and global expansion into a yoga practice – awareness, breath, poses – to assist those of us with scoliosis.
Following the class, we’ll have time to socialize and talk with each other. Get ready to meet other adults living with scoliosis, learn about each other, and talk about how we navigate living with scoliosis!
This workshop is intended for people (and their friends and family) with scoliosis as well as wellness clinicians and practitioners who work with these clients. People with spinalfusions are always welcome.

I'm teaching a Yoga & Scoliosis extended class at True North Yoga on Saturday April 11th and May 16th. People with spinal fusions are always welcome!
I will teach a sequence with a focus on elements important to working with scoliosis - breath, axial elongation, global expansion, opening areas of collapse, and finding the plumb line.
EQUALLY important, we will talk about living a full life with scoliosis. How can we take our practice into every day life with mindfulness, breathing techniques, awareness, playing with our edge, and releasing the ego? What do these things have to do with our scoliosis?
This class series will blend practice from the Iyemgar yoga traditions with personal experience and scoliosis research. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 11 and underwent spinal fusion surgery at age 12. I've taught and studied Yoga, Scoliosis, & Spinal Fusions for over 10 years in New York City and Chicago.
