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

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!

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.

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

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

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...

[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]

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.

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