Yoga Union Backcare & Scoliosis Center

The Yoga Union Backcare & Scoliosis Center in New York City has the largest dedicated Yoga for Backcare and Scoliosis program in the world, with a 100-Hour Certification Program for Yoga for Backcare & Scoliosis. We work to bring relief and kmowledge to a wide student body of all ages interested in improving posture, seeking relief from pain and wanting to work with spinal issues such as herniation, hyper-kyphosis or hyper-lordosis, hypo-kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, mild spinal asymmetry as well as full scoliosis and other issues.

Through careful attention to alignment, working with the concept of the neutral spine, bringing the body back to the midline and developing both range of motion and strength, we help students of all ages find balance and well-being. We bring all the tools of Yoga to bear, from Yoga poses, or asanas, breahting practices, or pranayama, meditation and more. The breath is a powerful tool to bring awareness, space and ease to the concavities present in relation to the curves of scoliosis, helping to correct the asymmetries present.

Yoga Union is fully equipped with props that help to bring ease and clear information to the student, as well as increasing range and srength, and providing the deepest rest. We have full rope-walls in all the studios, allowing students to work in traction as well. Our students love thee tools and show the benefits of working with them.

It is the mission of the Yoga Union Backcare & Scoliosis Center to serve as many students as possible. Once students are on the path to healing and are sufficiently able to care for their own asymmetries, they are able to attend classes at Yoga Union, the parralel company offering "normal" alignment and flow Yoga classes, based on sound and safe movement.
