Meet 'Yoga Rebel' Tara Stiles on LIVESTRONG Woman

question is about pregnancy yoga? Can I still practice the same routines or do I need to "lessen" the routine? Advice?

[Shahla771]

I have mild-moderate scoliosis, and i was wondering if there were any yoga poses to help with the back pain from this? I'm looking into alternative ways to alleviate pain and strengthen my back and core. Plus, I am new to yoga so I'm trying to ease my way into it. Thanks!

@Shahla771 there is actually a really basic, but really good pose for that. it's probably one of the most famous yoga poses, the tree pose. it stretches your back, helps align your spine and helps strengthen your back. it will definitely help back pain. i think the sun salutation will also be very helpful in your case. i think wii fit has both of these poses, not too sure. but i know wii fit has a lot of strengthening poses for your back and other parts...it would be a good way to begin with!

Tara, what are some steps to start out with yoga? I'm a student so I don't have too much time but I do need to stretch and relax. Also, I get frequent headaches, any advice?

[13Bee1]

@tigerpistol drinking lots of water helps to prevent headaches
