🕉️💚 June is Scoliosis Awareness Month 💚
Did you know a spine can curve like an “S” or “C”? That sideways curvature of the spine is Scoliosis and it affects millions of people all over the world. Often develops in childhood or adolescence and it can range from mild to severe.
As we age a scoliotic curve can be worsen. What may have been a mild bend in youth can become more pronounced, leading to increased muscle strain, stiffness, and chronic pain. Reduced flexibility and weakening core muscles also make it harder to compensate for the curve, so everyday movements may feel more challenging.
💚 Scoliosis & Yoga: Embracing Every Curve 💚
Through yoga we learn how to honor our bodies exactly as they are. With mindful movement, strength, and awareness, many people with scoliosis find balance, both on and off the mat.
Why it matters to us as yogis:
✅ Yoga can support spinal health, alignment, and posture
✅ Breathwork and special adjustments in yoga poses help relieve tension in a scoliotic spine
✅ An inclusive yoga practice fosters body awareness and acceptance
✅ We create space for every body, no matter the curve
This June, let's raise awareness for scoliosis warriors everywhere!
Because strength comes in all shapes!
💚🕉️
