Introducing an innovative and educational yoga course that examines the anatomy and biomechanics of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC) from an evolutionary and adaptive perspective. You’ll learn about what skeletal structures such as the spine, pelvis, SI joint, and hip joint can do and are capable of. You’ll reinstate positive narratives around misunderstood muscles such as the glutes, hip rotators, core, and pelvic floor. You’ll then apply these narratives to conventional ideas about yoga alignment and cueing, challenging some of the popular and mainstream ideas about what is safe.

Join Jules Mitchell, author of Yoga Biomechanics: Stretching Redefined, for a thought- provoking course that will give you the confidence to teach yoga to a wide demographic of students that are often overlooked for being too fragile or having too many unknowns. As always, Jules references recent research and emerging clinical perspectives as supporting materials while maintaining a holistic view of how one experiences yoga. Topics include:

• Applications of pain science

• Directed breathing practices

• Back pain and yoga alignment

• Reframing imbalances and compensations

• Bone, muscle, and joint physiology

• Connective tissue mechanics

• Pelvic floor function

• Scoliosis and asymmetry

• Various lumbo-pelvic-hip pathology

  This course is not intended to replace medical advice or treatment.

Registration includes access to a 2-hour self-paced online course with study questions. This on-demand chapter-by-chapter summary of Jules’ book ensures all course participants have a solid background in the foundational concepts the weekend material is built upon.
