Program Schedule YOGA FOR LOWER BACK: (Fri. 7:30-9:30 & Sat. 2-5pm) Yoga is a powerful tool for relieving back pain. This class is designed for students of all levels who need careful attention given to their backs. We will identify and practice postures that emphasize both the strength and flexibility of the spine and lower extremities. Anatomy will be discussed as pertinent to the poses we learn. Suitable for students and teachers of all levels. YOGA FOR SCOLIOSIS: (Sun. 2-5pm) This workshop is designed to meet the challenges of scoliosis whether it be a major structural scoliosis or minor imbalance through the practice of Iyengar yoga. Participants will learn optimal yoga postures for scoliosis and how to adapt specific yoga postures to their scoliosis. Students will learn to combine the yoga postures with breathing awareness to develop more structural alignment of the body.
