Come lengthen your spine and move out of the habitual behaviors that are making your back hurt! All levels welcome including those new to yoga and beginners. $22 Backcare Basics (Mondays @ 5:15 PM) For all types of back problems, pain and postural problems including scoliosis. This class moves a bit slower, and step by step in comparison to the Backcare Classes. $22 Yoga & Scoliosis (Wednesdays @ 6:00 PM, Thursdays @ 10:00 AM, Saturdays 12:15pm) For students with a lateral curvature(s) of the spine. The focus is on extension and working with issues affecting people with scoliosis such as balance, proprioception, strength and reducing compensatory patterns. All levels welcome including those new to yoga. $22 Intermediate Yoga & Scoliosis / Intermediate Backcare (Mondays @ 7:15 PM / Tuesdays @ 10am) For students with mature yoga practice or who have been taking the Yoga & Scoliosis or Backcare class on a regular basis for a minimum of 1 year. All poses will be modified with props and awareness techniques so each student can move along with his/her practice. There will also be some focus on inversions. $22 Yoga for Disc Herniation/Backcare & Herniation @ 6:30 PM Tuesdays $22, @ 12:30-1:30 Wednesdays $16 This also includes any other disc related problem such as bulging discs, dessication, extrusion, degeneration, etc. And since herniation is so common in the L4/L5/S1 area we also welcome students with general low back pain. Both classes are also appropriate for general backcare. Yoga & Scoliosis for Teens & Tweens (Thursdays @ 4:30 --series price $90, Sundays @ 12:45 DROP IN PRICE $16) For ages 11-17. All teens welcome, but as idiopathic scoliosis is so common in these years the class will generally focus on scoliosis. This 1-hour class creates an environment that is less intense than the adult classes and is sequenced for a young person’s energy level. Thursday classes are sold as a series. Sunday classes are drop-in. Yoga & Scoliosis for Students with Harrington Rods & Other Surgical Fusions Because of the contraindications with Harrington Rods and other instrumentation, being in a general class—even one focused on scoliosis or back problems—can be frustrating. This class covers all the principles and poses of the Yoga & Scoliosis classes but without twists, convex forward bending, backbending. The practice will help strengthen muscles around the fusion in an aligned manner, bring stability to hypermobile joints or open up very stiff areas—without destabilizing the body or the instrumentation itself. $22 Restorative (Fridays @ 6:00 PM) This class is for students of all levels. By supporting the body with props, poses are held longer. Poses emphasize deep release and rejuvenate the body and mind. $22 Intermediate Classes with Alison West (Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 10 AM) (These classes have moved to 37 W. 28th Street see www.yogaunion.com for more information) Lunchtime Backcare Basics Classes (Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 12:45 PM) For all types of back problems, pain and postural problems including scoliosis. These classes are only 1 hour long and move a bit slower, and step by step in comparison to the Backcare Classes. $16 Women's Class (Mondays @ 12:45—2 PM) Asanas to accommodate women's needs including; menstruation, pre- and post-natal, fertility, menopause and any other conditions, curiosities and concerns the students have regarding women's health $18 NO NEW BEGINNERS: This means new to yoga practice.
