Applied Yoga Mobility: The Sacroiliac Joint
Master Yoga Training for Teachers and all Movement Professionals
Watch Promo
The Applied Yoga Sacroiliac Joint Course is an in-depth training for all yoga teachers, advanced practitioners and movement professionals.
The sacroiliac joint is the conjoining area of two very important bones in the body: the sacrum and ilium. Due to the stress we put on our low backs and pelvis, the SI joint is commonly injured. Dysfunction here can lead to sciatic like symptoms, back pain that seems to have no direct center, hip pain and an inability to flex or extend the trunk.
In the Applied Yoga Sacroiliac Joint Course students are taught to assess for and treat common causes of SI joint dysfunction. You will learn to blend traditional asana with functional movement. This allows your teaching to be an assessment and treatment for human movement potential. At the end of the course you will have a more profound understanding of the body and a new set of tools to work with pain.
The Applied Yoga Sacroiliac Joint Course is one of a kind in the field of yoga, movement and assessment.
Take a major step in your career and join the increasing community of professionals blending ancient eastern practices with the intelligence of western science.
"Jory offers a depth of knowledge that can only come from direct experience and dedicated self-study. Without fail, every time I practice with him I walk away with new techniques to awaken my body and steady the mind. He naturally weaves together the integrity of all eight limbs of yoga and leads his classes with humor, focus and precision. Jory represents a powerful link in a chain of teachers going back centuries, and is himself, an embodiment of Yoga."
