My scoliosis has taught me sooooo much about yoga! It has helped me to tune into and appreciate the nuances of my body. Can you relate??

I essentially have the same curve pattern as you, though I have been told that I have multiple smaller curves as well. Elise Miller called it a "wavy spine". What is also true for me and I suspect that this is part of the scoliosis is that my left hip is lower than my right hip-so when I draw the femur heads into the hip socket on the left side there is a feeling of needing to draw the left femur "higher". In addition to the right thoracic moving out the right hip also tends to move out, which I think creates the experience of the lower hip on the left. Based on those factors in your first pose the version that felt most productive to me was the left foot on the block and the right foot/heel hanging down and the left arm raised. When I did it with my right foot on the block it exaggerated the left femur head leaving the socket and further cocking the hips. In Ardha Uttanasana with bent legs to the chair I felt like I got more length when I pulled the left hip back, which I think was the opposite of your experience. In the chair AMS (which I love!) again I found to find an integrated hip experience against the chair I needed to pull back on the left hip more. Our bodies are so complex! Anyway, great video! I'm definitely sharing it. Thank you!

Hi Stephanie, thanks so much for this video. I have a questions before I do wrong to my body... Can I ask it here please?

[@iyengaryogawithstephanie]

Yes, of course!

[@beatemclatchie8899]

Im sorry Im a little confused - do you have. right lumbar curve or a left lumbar curve? You have left thoracic curve correct? is that your main curve so you rather stretch on right ya? and is the right lumbar curve for you less pronounced or not present? Thank you for explaining

[@iyengaryogawithstephanie]

My curve is like an S. It’s to the right in the thoracic and to the left in the lumbar region. My main curve is in the thoracic region and so I like to stretch the left side because that is the short/compressed side. The bulge goes to the right but I often get relief by tractioning the left side. Does that help clarify a little bit?

[@beatemclatchie8899]

@@iyengaryogawithstephanie Dear Stephanie. first of all thank you so very much for taking the time to explain and respond so quickly. I completely understand. So I suppose in your case since your thoracic curve is towards the right, it seems that curve you feel stronger, maybe more overbearing therefore the stretch on the left is more release; and I do know that every case is different but it could be that someone with a left lumbar and a right thoracic feels the lumbar much more because maybe the left lumbar is more extreme than the right thoracic and could therefore profit more from a right stretch ya? then there could be someone who only has a right lumbar curve and then profits from a left stretch. So summing up one could say wherever the curve most prominent, a stretch on the opposite side might be most beneficial - with few exceptions as always. thank you for listening and reading - kind regards Billy
