What Customers Say About Yoga for Scoliosis [VHS]:

(After a few times, you may not need to actually watch the DVD - but, can add the relevant exercies to your own workout.). I purchased the DVD after purchasing the book. I, like some other reviewers, can see and feel a NOTICEABLE reduction in the curve of my spine. I do the spine straightening exercises along with a power walking video almost daily. I do have some difficulty doing the straightening exercises for the upper curve (secondary curve in my case)(I believe it is just me) - so I plan to purchase a power gym/bar so I can just hang from it a few minutes a day. My waistline was almost totally straight on one side and now, although not even, bends inward almost as much as the other side does - so it is far less uneven.

Someone promptly responded and was very helpful - when it talks about decompressing the compressed/curved side of the spine, they mean to bend the opposite way of your natural curve - think about stretching/straightening out the inner bend of a letter C. The book is great for those with scoliosis and those who want a great yoga DVD that focuses on the spine. I had trouble understanding a couple of exercises and emailed the author. Also, when doing the leanover test (from the book) (like the test from gradeschool), the S is not as exaggerated as it was. Best of all, I no longer have a continuous lower back ache. For example, my lower back is naturally a bit to the left, so on one exereice I am to bend at the waist to the left (making the lower spine curve to the right) - which I had a hard time wrapping my mind around.

Essentially, I believe this will help achieve the same affect of stretching the upper spine.

This is a well done dvd. Exercises are very well explained and easy to follow, and do not require any equipment, other than objects easily found at home.

I was delighted with the DVD. I have a soclosis and have paid a fortune on physiotherapists, chiro's and on pilates classes. I feel this dvd was my best investment. while a lot of the poses are similar to what i do in my yoga class there are also subtle differences which are very benefical to someone with a scoloss, also lovely bonus stretches at the end of the DVD.

I very much enjoy how this video is broken down into 3 sections that can be done individually if I don't have an hour to set aside. Poses are nice, a little slow for someone with previous training, but nice and detailed for beginners. The only thing I don't like is the long intro if you don't select scenes and just play the video straight through. Overall, I would recommend.

Yoga for Scoliosis / B000AB0Z4KI just want to insert a warning: Though the video title is "Yoga for Scoliosis", these exercises are for scoliosis sufferers who have NOT had the spinal fusion surgery. Beyond that, I'm sure this video is quite good for non-surgery-corrected scoliosis sufferers, but I do wish the title and/or product description had made that more clear, since this is a very important point - it needs to be made very clear that post-surgery patients can harm themselves with these exercises. In other words, if you are like me and underwent the corrective surgery in your youth, and are looking for yoga exercises that you can safely participate in or for pain management techniques, the exercises in this video are not appropriate for you. I am still looking for a good set of yoga exercises to relieve my back pain, and if anyone knows of a "Yoga for Scoliosis, Post-Spinal Surgery" resource, I'd be grateful to know of it. I also thought it was a bit deceptive (though maybe normal in the yoga video industry) that a whole list of "extras" was listed once the video started - some people can't afford yoga balls and yoga mats and yoga belts, and it seems wrong that that need isn't presented "up front" before dropping $30 on the video itself. Caveat emptor, I suppose.
