Applied Yoga

Applied Yoga is an online education platform founded by Jory Serota that bridges the gap between classical yoga, physical therapy, personal training, and therapeutic movement. The school offers specialized courses for yoga teachers, advanced practitioners, and movement professionals who want to develop anatomy-informed teaching skills.

The Applied Yoga approach is built on the premise that effective yoga teaching requires understanding not just traditional asana, but also how the body functions biomechanically. Courses cover assessment techniques drawn from physical therapy and NeuroKinetic Therapy, functional motor control, and targeted interventions for common issues like back pain, limited hip mobility, and breathing dysfunction.

Founded by Jory Serota, a NeuroKinetic Therapy Instructor with over 20 years of experience in kinesiology, Applied Yoga has trained thousands of yoga teachers and bodyworkers. The curriculum emphasizes practical, evidence-based methods that teachers can apply immediately in their classes and private sessions. Courses are delivered in a self-paced online video format.

    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.
