Yoga, Meditation, and Community

For scolis, fusioneers and their allies

We are gathering interest to see whether this retreat will be scheduled. Express interest here.

A minimum of 14 participants on the waitlist by June 13 is needed to move this event forward. Those on the waitlist receive a discounted rate for the retreat.

Gather with the scoliosis and spinal fusion community for a weekend of yoga, meditation, conversation and community.

• Connect with the scoliosis and spinal fusion community, people who understand what you navigate on a daily basis.

• Meet the five-fold approach to scoliosis wellness through the wisdom of TriYoga Therapeutics for Scoliosis, yoga tailored to support spines with scoliosis and/or spinal fusion.

• Relax into the practice without worrying if the movements will be accessible for your condition.

• Learn to direct the breath to support your curve and calm your mind.

• Sink into the beauty, peace, and inspiration of nature and create space to connect to your inner flow.

• Leave feeling energized and connected, as well as tall and centered. 

This retreat is open to adults 18 years or older with scoliosis and/or spinal fusion, as well as scoliosis allies such as scoli parents, friends, and partners. Participants must be able to move easily up and down from the ground.
