The Sacroiliac Joint - Keystone of the Body

10 July 2022, 1-4pm, with Tina Shettigara

The sacroiliac joint is the junction of the sacrum (the bottom part of the spine) with the pelvis. Here the bones are separate but closely fitting, like jigsaw pieces, and the joint is supported by a matting of ligaments. SIJ dysfunction is a major cause of lower back pain and discomfort.

In this workshop you will learn:

• Familiarity with the structures and principles

• Recognition of the symptoms of possible SIJ dysfunction

• What to do when acute

• How to start rehab as ease allows

• How to stabilize the SIJ

• How to strengthen the musculature that can maintain stability

The practical side of the workshop will take you through the adjustments you need to make to your āsana practice when in an acute flare-up, and a protocol for healing. 

This workshop is suitable for:

• Anyone with low back pain

• Yoga practitioners keen to have a greater sense of their body-mind connection

• Yoga teachers who would like to expand their practical anatomy and find new skills to work with their students (Yoga teachers can request a certificate from the facilitator for the purposes of CPD, valid for Yoga Australia members.)

What you need:

A yoga mat, yoga strap and yoga blanket are required for this workshop which may be supplied by the host venue. A muscle release ball will be provided on loan by facilitator.

Handout notes will be supplied.

Early bird: $79 per person (inc. GST)
