yoga for spinal fusions

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

I'm new to this group for about a month now, been mostly reading posts for

the time being. I wanted to let you know about a new yoga center in NYC (for

those of you who live here or near here) that's for people with scoliosis

and back pain. There is a Sunday morning class that is just for people with

spinal fusions that I have been going to, and although I don't want to sound

like an infomercial, its making a huge difference in relieving my daily pain

(Ive got a 1983-vintage harrington rod that gives me a lot of trouble).

Here's the info:

Yoga Union

32 w. 28th st, 4th floor (near 6th ave)

Sunday class: 10am, taught by Deborah Wolk

20$ (15$ for first timers)

Deborah's a good and knowledgeable teacher-- all the poses are extremely

modified (no twists, no strain on fused spines, etc) and she gives you a lot

of attention (its a small class right now!). Class is all ages, all types of

surgeries, and all levels of familiarity w/ yoga.

Also, Deborah is teaching a Yoga for Scoliosis workshop on march 15 at

Yogasana in Brooklyn, NY. I went last year and there were a couple of people

with fusions and people w/ all types of scoliosis (almost all women in the

class). Here's info: http://www.yogasanacenter.com/workshp.html
