Hi there, I have another question related to scoliosis and wonder if any of you have advice:
I wonder about how to approach the differences I feel in each
side….For instance, in the half-moon pose, I feel pretty open when
stretching to the right. It’s easy for me to keep everything in line (even
though, from what I know, this is the opposite way that my scoliosis goes in
my lower back….I think?). But when I stretch to the right, it’s SO much
harder! I have to really work to get my left shoulder forward and in line
and I can’t get nearly as far and it feels so cramped–not open! I know that
I just need to keep at it and slowly, this resistance will open up, but I
wonder what your opinion is on whether I should work the right side as hard
as I can then, too? Even though it is easier, should I back off to try to
“even” out my sides more? What is your opinion on this?
While the instructors at the studio are great, I haven’t found any that
really understand scoliosis so much, and I know this is a great practice for
me, so I want to keep up…Hoping someone on here may be able to offer some advice! Thanks.
