The beauty of a Yoga practice for these issues is that one uses the body holistically to address them. It is essential to know how to observe, modify, and adjust your practice or that of your student in the presence of back pain. This weekend will provide you with a rich opportunity to develop a sound practice. Disc herniation, spondylolysthesis, scoliosis, muscle spasms, posture problems—all will be explored in the context of the major categories of yoga poses, with suitable modifications. This weekend-long workshop is suitable both for those who would like to work with their own back issues and for those who would like to be Certified in Yoga for Backcare, Level I, an essential tool for any Yoga teacher.

To become a Yoga for Scoliosis Trainer, it is necessary to complete 20 hours of instruction, submit a paper which will be assigned in the workshop and complete a practicum where you will submit 2 case studies within 3 months of completing the 20 hours. There is an additional fee upon submission. You will then receive a certificate acknowledging that you have completed the training. This is not an Iyengar Certificate. For a yearly fee, you will be featured on a page of my website,www.yogaforscoliosis.com as a Yoga for Scoliosis Trainer where students can refer to if they are looking for an instructor. I also get many referral requests by email and phone and I will personally refer scoliosis students in your area, to you once you have completed the training. If you choose to take the 20 hour course without doing the practicum, you may also participate but will not receive the certificate or be able to be listed on my website as Yoga for Scoliosis Trainer. Since there is much information to absorb, it is recommended that you take the course several times and/or assist if you feel you need more understanding before beginning the practicum. In addition, to obtain the 20 hours of course work, you may take these weekend programs, Part 1 and Part 2, Each weekend will run 10 hours each to complete the 20-hour requirement. If you have taken one of my 10 hour Yoga for Scoliosis workshops offered throughout the United States in previous years, then you may take Part 2 in 2012 and will qualify to do the practicum to become a Yoga for Scoliosis trainer. Information for students The Workshops are appropriate for students of all levels with scoliosis. You must participate in Part I to attend Part II. Students will benefit greatly by learning about physical and psychological aspects of scoliosis as well as having the opportunity to explore in great depth beginner and intermediate poses with ‘hands on’ adjustments. Teachers who wish to assist their students with scoliosis are encouraged to enroll them in the Yoga for Scoliosis workshop. If you are a student with scoliosis and have a teacher who you feel would benefit from my programs, please let them know about these opportunities.
