Description

Hello! I'm Sarah Beth, a certified yoga teacher with prior experience as a chiropractic assistant. I also have a mild S curve Scoliosis and have found yoga to be extremely helpful in strengthening my core, improving my posture and most important: reducing the tension and pain associated with scoliosis.

So I created this series for those just like me!

You don't have to live in pain. You don't have to live with tension in your back, hips, neck or shoulders. With a regular yoga practice you can reduce and manage your symptoms. Aim to practice at least 3-4x a week, but the more often the better.

GENTLE STRETCHING: The 20 minute Routine can be used when you're feeling stiff, tired, sore, low energy, or even as a bedtime yoga practice. This will greatly reduce the tension in your body after just 1 practice, and you'll feel better and better the more often you practice this one.
TOP 3 YOGA POSES FOR SCOLIOSIS: This is a quick educational video to deeply explain and demonstrate the Top 3 Yoga Poses for Scoliosis. Practice these postures daily or as needed to improve your posture, reduce your curvature, and reduce tension & pain. (these postures are also built into the Gentle Stretching & Stretch/Strengthen Routines)
STRETCH & STRENGTHEN: This 20 minute practice has longer holding postures to strengthen the muscles in your sides, core and back to help ease tension & strain from your scoliosis. Regular practice can improve your posture, body awareness and overall feeling of well being.

I'm so excited for you to feel GOOD again! Believe me, when I'm not active I tend to get a lot of aches, pains, tension and headaches. Yoga really works, and you don't have to do an hour a day to feel better! Use this program and aim for 20 minutes 3-4 days a week and feel the aches melt away.

See you on your mat!
