Yoga and Scoliosis
FULL WORKSHOP - future date coming soon! When: May 6th 1:00 - 3:30 For Yoga Teachers and Students with Scoliosis Scoliosis can be mysterious and confusing, whether it is in your own body, or when you are looking at someone else. In this workshop I will provide knowledge about what scoliosis is from a scientific standpoint, and you will learn and practice integrating this into your yoga. If you are a teacher, this is a wonderful opportunity to understand what you are seeing in your students bodies, and how to better guide them in their practice. I bring a unique perspective to this topic, as I am advanced certified in the most evidence-based physical therapy methods for scoliosis, Schroth and SEAS, as well as being a certified,Iyengar yoga teacher. This will be a fun class! All levels welcome. Register Here 
Scoliosis Education Workshop
For Adults TBA - Message me if interested! WHY? Many adults have never had a meaningful conversation about their scoliosis. They don't understand what it is and what they can do for self-care, so they are often fearful and worried. Basic education and simple tips can make a big difference! Common Questions to be Discussed: What is scoliosis, and why do I have it? Why is my back shaped this way? Will I be able to walk when I am older, or will I be bent over no matter what I do? Is it safe to exercise? If so, how do I do so without making things worse? How should I sit and what are good sleep positions? What are reasonable goals for an adult with scoliosis? ( stabilizing the curve/curves, managing pain, improving daily habits to minimize stress on spine - just a few examples ) Purpose: This workshop is for adults who would like to know more about their scoliosis
I'll keep the class size small so we can have Q and A and discussions as we go! Register Here: Workshop with Dina Chalom PT MOMT, CIYT Full Bio A Healthy Back - Education & Care

“It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it!”
There is so much information out there on how to have a healthy back - it can be overwhelming to sort through it all. I will provide you with basic knowledge and skills to make informed decisions on how to keep your back healthy. Choosing to follow recipes of back care doesn't work since we are all unique! The foundation of this workshop will be to provide a base of knowledge on back health and care incorporating yoga. What you will learn: • Basic biomechanics and anatomy of the lower back, how it relates to the rest of the body and how it can vary. • Common body types and movement patterns and how they relate to back health. • Self care for a healthy pain free back - this will include stretches, exercises, strengthening, relaxation techniques and ergonomics. • How to keep your back healthy during activities of daily life - including fitness activities and of course Yoga! As a physical therapist and a yoga teacher, I will approach this topic drawing from both worlds. Register Here:
