Description
This internationally acclaimed workshop is open to anyone who is currently a yoga student and is familiar with the basic yoga poses to address their scoliosis. This is also an ideal workshop designed for teachers who wish to learn more about how to teach students with scoliosis. Teachers are invited to bring their students with scoliosis so that both will have the opportunity to work together under Elise’s guidance.
