Today, on Giving Tuesday, we're asking for your help with a cause that’s close to our hearts — supporting people living with scoliosis and chronic back pain!

TOPS is one of the charity beneficiaries of the Giving Back Kindness (GBK) Foundation. GBK’s mission is simple but powerful: to help people live full lives even when faced with chronic spinal conditions like scoliosis.

Why this matters:
* About 2–3% of the world’s population has scoliosis. As many of us know, a curved and twisted spine can cause lifelong pain and mobility issues.
* The most common form—Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis—affects youth, and its cause is still unknown.
* Without access to specialized education and movement training, many people struggle to manage the condition, leading to chronic discomfort, fatigue, and emotional distress.

GBK’s work has already begun — and with your help, it can grow.

Your donation goes directly toward providing real tools, education, and hope for people who are living every day with spinal challenges. Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. Click the link below to visit the donation portal.

Are you ready to Give Back Kindness?

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your support in raising funds for the 'Giving Back Kindness Foundation' (GBK), which provides scoliosis and spine health support for people in need. TOPS is proud to be one of its charity beneficiaries. Among other things, their support helps us ensure anyone can attend a scoliosis workshop or retreat, regardless of financial situation.

The GBK Foundation is one of the first of its kind in Canada, dedicated to helping people live healthy, vibrant lives even when faced with chronic spine conditions like scoliosis. Their mission:

- Raise awareness about the impacts of scoliosis and spinal fusion.
- Support health and wellness-related projects with a focus on back care and education.
- Contribute to long-term solutions for prevention, treatment, and support.�

Using the Iyengar Yoga Wall To Enhance Your Practice

"Learning how to use them rocked my world for the better as they allowed me to discover new length, strength, support, and freedom throughout my body."

In the latest installment of her blog, Martha shares how (and where) she first discovered the benefits of a yoga wall, the various options (i.e. traditional rope walls, portable walls, etc) and how she recently fell in love with the wall all over again - such that it has inspired future projects. Read all about it by clicking the link below!

When scoliosis catches your eye…a small but beautiful representation.

Found in a pretty, little table setting at a restaurant in Petaluma, California. Where have you spotted scoliosis in the wild?
