kyphoscoliosis

'Hunchback', 'round back' or 'humpback'…an abnormal forward bend of
the upper spine (thoracic), very much affected by the sedentary
Western lifestyle. Muscles along the upper back may become
chronically tight, encouraged by collapsed postural habits. At a
physiological level, this disorder may potentially affect one’s
breathing efficiency; cause unnecessary tension to build up along
the neck and shoulders; and can be a cause of depression. Those
with hyperkyphosis may also feel the need to take extra deep
breaths or may sigh at frequent intervals.
In this workshop, we will practise various yoga postures tailored
specifically for those with hyperkyphosis and explore the support
of our lungs and musculoskeletal system in addressing this issue.
Many have experienced how this practice has freed up embedded
tightness, encouraged fullness of breath, and released tension
along the neck and shoulders. Through awareness, we will also
introduce healthy postures into our daily life.
