I'm 40yrs old and I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which is causing shortness of breath. Will Yoga poses/stretches help with this problem? Which poses/stretches would you reccomend?

Yes, I think this will help you. It certainly won't hurt.
Get a yoga book, and try whatever positions you are comfortable with.

Well show you the basics.
Try the poses on the web site. Also you might try hanging from a bar.

you are too old to re shape your bone, if you do difficult pose, it may fracture your joint,
try this for a start : stand straight
and then , try another : lay your back on a solid surface, try to stighten your back bone so from the butt above it contact to the surface, slowly up to the neck
