Class Descriptions:

Backcare (Mondays @ 10 AM, Tuesdays @ 6:30 PM, Wednesdays @ 10 AM, 6:00 PM, Fridays @ 10 AM )
For all types of back problems, pain and postural problems including scoliosis. 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. $23

Neck & Shoulders (Mondays @ 2-3:30pm)  
A class which focuses on shoulder and neck health through an exploration of range of motion, strengthening, and awareness. Though the class will address the neck and shoulders specifically, it will give students a well rounded yoga practice.

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. $23

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. $23

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. These Intermediate classes are not for new beginners.  $23

Yoga for Disc Herniation/Backcare & Herniation @ 6:30 PM Tuesdays $22, @ 12:30-1:30 Wednesdays $17
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 (Sundays @ 12:45 SERIES $75.)
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. $23

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. $23

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. $17

Early Morning Backcare (Fridays @ 8:15-9:30 AM) 
For all types of back problems, pain and postural problems including scoliosis. This class is ideal for the student with a spinal fusion given Miriam Rosetti's wealth of experience with the subject.  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. $20

Class pre-registration policy

  • It is highly recommended you pre-register for Yoga Union Backcare classes, especially classes that tend to get full like the Co-Directors’ classes and Kaitlyn Hipple’s Tuesday evening Herniation Class.
  • If you pre-register for a class you must cancel two hours before that class begins or you will be charged in full for the class or you will lose the class on your class card. If you have an unlimited card, please have the courtesy to cancel anyway at your earliest convenience.
  • Please cancel via email (info@yogaunionbackcare.com) or call 212-510-7404.  Even if we receive the message later, we will go by the time stamp and refund your money or class card if appropriate.
  • If you are ill or there is an immediate family medical emergency, we will of course, waive the fee.
