  • Yoga & Scoliosis Weekly Class in Manhattan

    Yoga and Scoliosis Weekly Classes with Deborah Wolk and Alison West
    At Yoga Union Center for Backcare and Scoliosis
    32 W. 28th Street New York, NY 10003
    Saturday, 12:15-1:45 PM, Wednesdays 6-7:30 PM
    also: Teens Classes, Specialty classes for students with Harrington Rods and spinal fusions


    The practice of yoga can help bring awareness to a spinal curvature and may relieve pain as well as slow the progression of scoliosis. A yoga practice that specifically addresses the scoliosis with awareness and alignment will practically assure these results.

    In this all-levels class students will work to understand their own scoliosis through both observation and direct experience. Each week we will explore ways of practicing asana and using props especially geared towards scoliosis.

    Anyone with scoliosis (or any spinal asymmetry) is encouraged to attend this class including those people considering yoga as a therapeutic option. Yoga teachers and body workers are also encouraged to attend.

    Deborah Wolk
    After practicing many different styles of yoga for many years, Deborah found that alignment based yoga was most helpful for her own scoliosis and the related difficulties it caused. Over the past seven years she has studied with Alison West, Genny Kapuler, Bobbie Fultz, Karin Stephan and Elise Browning Miller as well as a number of other Iyengar teachers, all of whom have given her great insight into her own scoliosis as well as into teaching students with scoliosis.

    As a teacher of many students with scoliosis and as a long time student with scoliosis, Deborah’s wide range of experience brings together both compassion and understanding in her teaching.

    Deborah is certified to teach by Yoga Union at the E-500 hour level and is registered with Yoga Alliance. She is certified as a Yoga For Scoliosis teacher by Elise Browning Miller. She is co-Director of Yoga Union Center for Backcare and Scoliosis. She also teaches at Yogasana Center for Yoga.
