" Wonderfully informative workshop!! "
Stephanie W (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" I thought that this workshop was great! I work with a lot of scoliosis in the studio and found this workshop full of great exercises that are proprioceptively rich, with a really great emphasis on awareness and manual cuing, rather than propping alone. This is an extremely useful workshop...thank you! "

" Excellent, thorough explanations coupled with very effective, concrete, and practical exercises. "
Pareena L (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" This workshop is amazing. There is so much information that I could not fully absorb it the first time through. I am ready to start it all over again!It will be a treasured part of my library. "
Patricia R (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" This workshop was tremendously helpful in towards assessing the spine by observing holding patterns, and movement habits. The strategies for releasing holding patterns to promote a healthy moveable body is essential. Firing weaker muscles and enhancing proprioception through the use of props and balancing techniques helps the entire body respond quickly; sending signals to the neurological system through the skeletal body. Thank you , Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. "
Maya C (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" Thorough information about scoliosis, muscular and proprioception changes,system changes. The exercises are great tools that I think all my clients-with and without scoliosis- will benefit from. Thank you for the detailed PDF. It helped me to watch the videos rather than taking copious notes. "
Linda Z (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" Thank you, Kuan! This was very well done, clear and comprehensive. I have been working with a client with extreme scoliosis and have been seeking a training such as yours. I know that if I did a live training I wouldn\'t retain much of the information so am glad I will be able to watch it again! "

Leslie G (Unraveling Scoliosis)
" There was a lot of great information in this workshop. I found the section on the proprioceptive training the most interesting because right now most of the proprioceptive training I do is on the Bosu. It was great to see other ways to approach that kind of training for clients. "
