Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Does anyone has experiencences about practicing with scolyosis? Is it possible to heal scolyosis by practicing the 1° series? I'm practicing since 3 years. Sometimes i feel it's getting better because my back is more straight, then suddenly i have the bad feeling my back is even more twisted than before. For sure by practicing correctly muhla and uddyiana bandha i have much more awareness of my back. Should i continue? Am i on the right way? Will i have a straight spynal column one day? Thanks for your help and experience about this, Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 yes i have. basically twists feel easier on one side compared to the other and also the space between the ribs is larger on one side making intercostal strains on that side easier. i strained my intercostals a couple of times from doing deep backbends, always on the same side. however other than that depending on the degree of scolyosis it shouldn't make that much difference. just practising regularly with faith should transform your body as you slowly progress through the series. >"maxfrancesconi" <maxfrancesconi (AT) (DOT) it> >ashtanga yoga >ashtanga yoga >ashtanga yoga ashtanga practice with scolyosis >Sun, 02 Jul 2006 08:47:44 -0000 > >Does anyone has experiencences about practicing with scolyosis?

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi Max, I have scoliosis and have been practicing yoga for five years, three of the past years just focusing on ashtanga. My spine hasn’t gotten straighter but it hasn’t deteriorated either. My doctor says my back muscles are strong and that I should continue the yoga to keep the core strong. There is an article in Yoga Journal about this topic titled “Yoga for Scoliosis” http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/1060_1.cfm Another website that helped answer my questions about scoliosis is http://www.yogaforscoliosis.com/yoga.html I hope this helps.

My sister has it as well, and I often worry about my young son who is a dedicated viola player developing it-- but he does practice yoga so hopefully that will keep everything in alignment. Best of luck to you! Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
