Hello!
Hi everyone! So cool to see a community for scoliosis. I was diagnosed at around 6 or 7 years old I believe and had a full spinal fusion at 12. I’m currently training to run my first marathon and have been practicing yoga for about a year. When I first started, it really hit me how I can’t do all of the poses like others could, but I don’t let that stop me from enjoying my practice.
I’m so excited to see a community for people like me. I just want to remind you all that you are so strong.

Hi Faith! Wow, I just love hearing stories of scoli warriors who continue to find joy in the things they love, even when they have to modify for their curves. You're exactly right, we are so strong! I'm so thrilled to hear of another fused marathoner, I have SO much respect for your dedication. If you don't know her already, you should check out @runner_natty_lynn on IG. She's a fellow fused runner!
I would love to hear more about how your training is going, when is race day?! 😍
