Course program

Applied Yoga Mobility: The Sacroiliac Joint is a continuing education course by Applied Yoga, the school founded by NeuroKinetic Therapy Instructor Jory Serota. It teaches yoga teachers and movement professionals how to assess and address sacroiliac joint dysfunction by blending classical asana with functional movement principles drawn from physical therapy.

Yoga teachers, advanced practitioners, and movement professionals with a foundation in yoga or movement work, especially those already teaching or treating clients and credentialed Yoga Alliance teachers seeking CE credits.

The curriculum focuses on the sacroiliac joint, the meeting point of the sacrum and ilium, and the pelvic mechanics that often contribute to back pain, sciatic-like symptoms, and limited trunk mobility. You’ll learn how to assess for and treat common causes of SI joint dysfunction and how to integrate that assessment into your teaching of yoga.

The practical work covers yogic techniques to strengthen weak glutes, poses to lengthen hypertonic hamstrings, and specific cueing for standing postures that stabilize the SI joint. Pose-by-pose lessons walk through Triangle Prep (Parsva Hasta Padasana), Warrior 2, Side Flank Pose, Bridge, Locust, Standing Forward Fold, Parsvottanasana variations, Supta Padangusthasana on three planes, and Seated Wide Angle Pose. The throughline is functional motor control as the foundation for muscular health and pain-free movement.

The course is led by Jory Serota, founder of Applied Yoga and a certified NeuroKinetic Therapy Instructor with more than 20 years of experience in kinesiology and movement disciplines. He has trained thousands of yoga teachers and bodyworkers in his anatomy-informed approach and is known for making complex biomechanical concepts accessible.

The course is delivered self-paced as pre-recorded video lessons through the Applied Yoga online academy. After enrolling you have lifetime access across your devices. Support is offered through the Applied Yoga private Facebook group, where you can ask questions or share case studies with other practitioners.

The course awards 5 hours of continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance, which can be applied toward your existing teaching credential. There is no standalone certification for this individual course; the wider Applied Yoga Mobility Certification Program is the path for a full credential. A 3-day refund policy backs the enrollment.

Host reviews

Kevin Courtney

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.
Eric Nelson

As a chiropractor and non-yoga person, I actually wasn’t sure how pertinent this information would be. But from the moment I began this program I knew I would be able to apply the concepts immediately. Jory is an amazing teacher with extensive knowledge in yoga and movement. He provides so much insight into the body and human experience. I feel so grateful to have taken this course and all my patients are benefitting!
Jessie Lam

The Applied Yoga Integration course greatly deepened my understanding of alignment, breath work, and clinical assessment. It taught me how to take the “simplest” yoga poses and turn them into something completely different. I learned new tools and cues to incorporate into my classes, private sessions (both yoga and personal training) and my own practice! There was so much valuable information, I wish the weekend were longer! I cannot wait for more courses!
Demi Gregg

What a phenomenal experience! The understanding, knowledge and caring Jory brings is above and beyond what I have ever found in a seminar! I have been using Applied Yoga with every single client I have and they are all benefitting. This course is a blessing that I am now getting to share with the world.
