Does Yoga Help In The Treatment Of Scoliosis?
I am a 29 yr old female and have a mild scoliosis. I am currently practicing yoga for 3 weeks now (hot yoga, yin yoga, and flow yoga alternatingy). Will my scoliosis improve or it won t change? Because i want to continue yoga for giving me flexibility, strength, balance and calmness. Thank you!
