Strength and Scoli: Tone and sculpt exercises will not have a bad effect on scoliosis. Core strengthening exercises such as yoga and pilates will help stabilize your spine.

No: Exercises have not been shown to have a beneficial or deleterious effect on scoliosis curve magnitude. Also, at 26 years of age, with a mild curve, the chance of progression with (idiopathic) scoliosis is remote.
