Are some poses easier on one side than the other? This intermediate practice balances asymmetrical patterns of strength and weakness from side-to-side and coaxes the spine back to center. Many poses are held for several breaths allowing time to explore their inner workings –particularly how to properly rotate the torso. This strong, slow flow sequence features side bends, opposite arm and leg balances, a mandala of standing postures including Parighasana (Gate Pose) and side plank variations leading to the peak pose, Kapinjalasa (Side Plank Bow Pose). Ideal for yogis with imbalances, scoliosis and anyone who wants to feel more magic pulsing through their spine.

This was an interesting class. I found it hard but my spine felt good afterwards. I have scoliosis and fibromyalgia and have been having back problems. I only got to 55 minutes and hope to complete next time because I will be doing it again.

Patrick Montgomery commented on this review

Jen, I m glad you benefitted from the class! The postures, while all therapeutic for scoliosis, do get more challenging as the class goes on. So, I think it s great to start with what you can and make slow progress. A little goes a long way here. The key actions with scoliosis are to lengthen the spine, then gently de-rotate the curve. It s definitely going to be harder on one side! Go to the same depth on both sides, meaning hold back on the easy side. However far into the sequence you go, just make sure to lay flat on the floor for several minutes to end. Thank you for the nice review!

Amazing practice! Patrick is the most thorough instructor in YogaDownload. I wish we had more of him rather than the most popular instructors who offer slight variations on the same old theme with the same old soundtrack. With Patrick you get quality, not quantity. Yes, his classes are longer, but totally worth it!

Patrick has good knowledge of what he is doing . this class is not just a „touch and go“ yoga session. It goes deeper into alignment and you are able cultivate your patience while building strength and alignment - which is a great challenge for me. thank you sooo much !

I love Patrick s classes. They are exactly what I m looking for: long holds to allow proper alignment and challenge/strength building, unique poses, and getting to the side body!
This class is challenging and I love it. He has great energy and instruction.

This instructor obviously has a very thorough understanding of yoga and the human body. His subtle alignment cues really enabled me to open and go deeper in the poses. I absolutely LOVED this class and look forward to what else he has available. This sequence also helped me to release my chronically tense back muscles.

I really enjoyed this class. The instruction was clear and concise. Nice unique variation of common poses. I enjoyed that this class was not a focused on flow. The focus was on slow precise execution, followed by longer holds of the pose. It was definitely pushing the high end of intermediate. Bottom line: This is one for my library.

This was a really great class. The long holds were challenging. I wasn t sure if I would have the stamina to stick with an 80 minute class at home, but it was such a great challenge it kept me going.
