Scoliosis Wellness Journey: The Invitation, the Adventure
You've lived with scoliosis your whole life, or perhaps you just received your surprising diagnosis. When you research the term, you discover images of people in pain, and that's not the story you're interested in.
Instead, you're ready to step into your Scoliosis Wellness Journey. And I am ready to lead you on your way.
This intro course presents scoliosis - a condition that affects hundreds of millions of people on the planet - as an adventure for body, mind, and spirit.
I've been preparing for this since I was 10 years old. This program merges my 45 years of living with scoliosis and 30 years of loving TriYoga. You won't find this material presented this way anywhere else in the world.
In 2019 when I began my journey into scoliosis wellness, I did not understand how profoundly my curves were affecting me, even though I have lived with scoliosis since I was 10 years old.
When someone showed me how to support my body within the imbalances caused by scoliosis curves, my whole being relaxed.
I was so touched I cried with relief.
If you live with scoliosis, you probably don't even realize how much energy you are expending to face the world, literally.
The Scoliosis Wellness Journey moves the mind into the body and builds valuable awareness and knowledge. These are gifts that last a lifetime.
Imagine:
Honoring your body in its effort to support you
Finding greater ease amidst your asymmetry
Soothing pain and releasing strain
Discovering enthusiasm that motivates action
Accessing energy that scoliosis has unconsciously consumed
Letting go of judgement about the way your body looks
Releasing the emotional weight you carry from this physical challenge
Gaining confidence to move safely and effectively
Connecting with community that shares and understands your challenges
Scoliosis Wellness Journey serves as the foundation for TriYoga Therapeutics for Scoliosis. Knowledge can be applied to any TriYoga or yoga class you attend. What you discover here accompanies you for life, understanding that empowers a healthy relationship with body and mind.
Scoliosis Wellness Journey is the invitation to embrace your scoliosis with focused attention and steady energy. Move joyfully into the adventure that is your life.

How It Works
This 12-hour program includes 9 hours over the weekend, Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, (in-person or online), and two TriYoga Therapeutics for Scoliosis classes online. During the weekend you will enjoy presentations, workshop time, discussions, TriYoga Therapeutics for Scoliosis, breathing, and relaxation on the mat.
Six in-person spots are available each day of the weekend. Registration is required for each session to reserve your in-person spot or your online spot. Attending in-person or live online is encouraged for the best experience, rather than relying solely on replays.
This is a highly interactive program with extensive personalized attention. Class size is limited.
Online students are asked to have a friend or family member present as a second pair of eyes during the Saturday meeting when we map our curves.
This program is limited to 12 participants, 6 of those may be in-person. Five participants are required for the program to be held.
