Whether we have muscle imbalances, scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis, Iyengar yoga can bring an awareness to such asymmetry to facilitate transformation to a more balanced state both physically and mentally. The workshop will include information on different back conditions, time to explore in depth our imbalances, and then how to adapt the asanas for any asymmetry whether it be a major structural scoliosis or minor imbalance.  Teachers and students of all levels may attend.
