YOGA FOR SCOLIOSIS OR ANYONE Part 1 of 2

[sadienardini]

I agree, nothing can reverse a spinal curvature. But this will do WAY more than reduce pain a little, as you can see from the comments below. Yoga can reduce the progression of scoliosis, as well as strengthen the body in balance, enhance flexibility, reduce pain a LOT, also: weight loss, detoxing, immunity, boosts anti-aging, a calm mind, and heart, and more. Show that to your doctor before he brushes the power of yoga away for more of his patients! Try this yourself--you'll see.

Yes it will!! It might keep it from progressing more, and also will help open and strengthen your body as much as you need to keep your spine healthy and working for you properly.

Good luck!

[sadienardini]

Just do it as I do....your curve will stop you where it does, so work within your unique spinal situation, just do the pose as much as you can, and where your body stops you--work there.

xoSadie

[sadienardini]

Excellent--it's a real workout, too, which she may like.

[sadienardini]

It will help as much as it can...but you'll be as fit as you can be in the process;)

xoSadie

[sadienardini]

It may--yoga will give your body the best chance to be as balanced as possible within your scoliosis.

But more than that, it will help bring a sense of natural freedom to your body, where you might not notice the tiny curve of your belly so much, and instead, begin to honor your abs for being strong enough to get you through your yoga practice, for example. That's a wonderful day...

xoSadie

[sadienardini]

Start with your knees down in any poses that feel too weight-bearing for your back. At first, you're building strength, so you need to work through some discomfort,....but you should also support yourself, and use a lot of navel into your spine so the abdominals take over for the lower back.

Keep going--you'll get stronger and more pain-free.

[sadienardini]

Great! So glad it's helped...keep it up!

I've been diagnosed with early scoliosis, back in 2007, at this point in time my left leg often feels like there's knives in it. Will these exercises reduce the effects and presentations of scoliosis?

[sadienardini]

Yes, they will. It sounds like you may have a spinal bone or muscle, like your piriformis [in the side hip] pressing on your sciatic nerve.

Add Pigeon Pose to your regular yoga workout, and I think you'll see wonders happen with that leg.

Before you dive into any exercise form, however, make sure your doctor takes a look at that spine and gives you the clear.

Namaste,

Sadie

[scuba453]

You look very professional. Thanks.

I have scoliosis in the upper part of my spine...my left romboid is always very tight.

[fdxnaoseinomes]

So this exercises will reverse scoliosis?

I have a mid curve to the right.

[sadienardini]

It won't reverse it--it will help the body become as balanced and pain free as it can within the constraints of the curvature of your spine. It can help build muscular stability around the spine too, so scoliosis may not progress s fast.

pretty woman

[sadienardini]

I do..lower back curve is slightly reversed and a little to the right. S

[sadienardini]

Great! It seems to work well...

Let me know how it goes for you, and if there are any trouble spots so I can do another video for more poses and more people. Good luck! Sadie

[sadienardini]

Hey Jessie,

I'm so glad you wrote. I have a little scoliosis too..lower back. Man, many people do, so you're actually normal:) Yoga does things, like detoxes you and turns on your healing and anti-aging hormones when you practice, so you'll feel better when you do your yoga than most anything else...because you ARE better. Keep it up, and let me know what's happening!

xoxoSadie

[sadienardini]

I'm so happy to hear this! Thanks for letting me know!

I think I have scoliosis thats mild but my shoulders are even it 's just the hips on the right it's curved and left is straight and it looks a little weird. would the deltoid fly be good for that.

[sadienardini]

I'm not sure what the deltoid fly is--a weightlifting move? Pls explain it to me...

If you think you have scoliosis, you should go to the doc and get x-rayed so you know how to help it, and not harm it.

[VieaRisse]

Hi this is nice, i have a scoliosis and i should put this video on my NDS :) and do what you exactly done here, thanks!

[sadienardini]

Thanks:)--let me know how it's working for you.

xoxoSadie

[gracegtz]

Hey Sadie,

I just had the corrective Scoliosis surgery and also have a L5 fracture, are there any kinds of positions that I can do without much pain in the back?

Gracie

[loulahoopla71]

Hi Sadie,

I have a painful scoliosis and I so need to do yoga to open up and relieve tension! Problem is I have a wrist injury, and I can't do plank or any other such poses. Do you have any tips? Many thanks, Louise

[sadienardini]

Hi Louise...

All the standing poses like Warrior 1, 2 and 3, Twisting lunge, forward bend, Fan pose, triangle, reverse triangle, parsvottanasana, side angle pose...and seated poses like core navasana and other core poses, seated twists, forward bends and pigeon would be great. Also, instead of your hands on the floor during plank, try forearms down so you can build arm and core strength! xoSadie

[Uuhhu]

Hey Sadie!

I am really happy that you have done this amazing video,

I am going to practise this right now, hope it will help me with my scoliosis!

LOVE

[sadienardini]

Thanks! It will help you not go deeper into curvature or imbalances, but remember, everyone's spine is different, and you gotta work with what you have. Any good yoga practice will keep you balanced and healthy where you are. This is a great place to start! xoSadie

[scurry1965]

This is "Right On". Thank you

[mememe298]

hey i was wondering if you could have more info on which sides to be doing the excercises on depending on your the side of your curve that would help

thanks

[sadienardini]

Hi!

You want to counterbalance your curvature, without pushing it too much. So if you have a curve that goes to the right, that means the right side of your spine is shortened. So sidebends to the left will help. If you have a curve that's posterior [bowing out behind you], then the spine there is compressed forward. slight backbends will help. Every scoliosis spine is different, so you want to keep track of what curves where in yours, and overdo or longer-hold poses on one side, depending.

[melanie1479]

hi sadie! i emailed you before to please come up with a routine for people with scoliosis like me! thank you so much for granting my request! i love all the routines you posted here and in podcast! thanks again!

[sadienardini]

I'm glad it's working for you. Keep letting me know what I can do. I'm so happy to help, and happy to hear it's making a difference in your life.
