Are there any particularly good yoga poses for scoliosis?

I know the names of the poses, I just need some original ideas.

If you have a structural rather than a functional scoliosis (ie. one that has developed rather than one you were born with) then you may benefit from chiropractic/ osteopathy treatment to help re-align your vertebrae. I'm not sure if there is much evidence on exercise/ yoga improving the condition though.

Well I did a google on "yoga for scoliosis" and found some good sites for you.
First, check out http://www.yogaforscoliosis.com/yoga.htm...
It has a FAQ section that will probably be helpful.

And here is an excellent article written for Yogajournal.com by a woman (Elise B. Miller) who has made a Yoga for Scoliosis DVD, as she herself used yoga to help her scoliosis. Make sure you at least read the last half of it. :) She has some great tips!

If you want more, go ahead and google it too! Good luck!
