Alignment Guidance for Scoliosis Yogis

I geeked out about this yoga mat. I have thought about using tape to create a line down the center of my yoga mat to make it like the mats I used in my Yoga for Scoliosis classes back in Chicago. The thought came and went. As much as I liked the idea, I knew the execution would be a hot mess. So when I saw the Liforme yoga mat that not only had a center line but a bunch of other markers, I was pumped.

This has been my first week using the new mat and I’m loving it! It has helped me orient myself in a way that I’m really liking. I’ve found that the adjustments I’ve been making with this mat are opening my body up into poses that I was constricting rather than expanding. I’ll keep you posted on how my practice progresses with this mat.

Here’s the YouTube video I created when I opened it up for the first time!
