Scoliosis and other Back Issues are musculoskeletal conditions, but these conditions impact and are impacted by our organs. Deborah will offer techniques in the asanas to address these imbalances. She will also propose techniques to use the organs themselves to offer the spine more support.

By understanding the specifics of your structure caused by scoliosis or back-issue-related asymmetries, one can learn to sense organic imbalances that have formed deeper within and how they impact one’s health

Friday Anatomy Session:  After a review of spinal anatomy and scoliosis anatomy, participants will locate the organs through pictures, lecture and touch and learn to “see” them in themselves and others

Saturday & Sunday Sessions: Deborah will teach techniques in the asanas to address asymmetries that impact the organs and may also address some specific organic health issues.

Saturday morning will focus on asana and the organs of digestion.
Saturday afternoon will focus on the reproductive organs and kidney/bladder
Sunday morning will focus on the heart.
Sunday afternoon will focus on lungs and pranayama.

The workshop is appropriate for all levels. Six (6) months yoga experience is strongly suggested. Drop ins are allowed for any session but it is strongly recommended that you attend Friday’s Anatomy workshop to prepare for any of the following sessions.

Deborah Wolk is Founder and current Program Director of Samamkaya Back Care & Scoliosis Collective.
