I essentially have the same curve pattern as you, though I have been told that I have multiple smaller curves as well. Elise Miller called it a "wavy spine". What is also true for me and I suspect that this is part of the scoliosis is that my left hip is lower than my right hip-so when I draw the femur heads into the hip socket on the left side there is a feeling of needing to draw the left femur "higher". In addition to the right thoracic moving out the right hip also tends to move out, which I think creates the experience of the lower hip on the left. Based on those factors in your first pose the version that felt most productive to me was the left foot on the block and the right foot/heel hanging down and the left arm raised. When I did it with my right foot on the block it exaggerated the left femur head leaving the socket and further cocking the hips. In Ardha Uttanasana with bent legs to the chair I felt like I got more length when I pulled the left hip back, which I think was the opposite of your experience. In the chair AMS (which I love!) again I found to find an integrated hip experience against the chair I needed to pull back on the left hip more. Our bodies are so complex! Anyway, great video! I'm definitely sharing it. Thank you!
My scoliosis has taught me sooooo much about yoga! It has helped me to tune into and appreciate the nuances of my body. Can you relate??
I have had severe scoliosis since childhood, Iyengar yoga is a miracle to heal huge amount of my condition! 😇🙏🏼🌈💕💕
please do some for kyphosis
