Understanding your sacroiliac joint

I've done this class 5-6 times and it helps with my asymmetric pelvic rotation. If you are looking for targeted ideas still, I'd love your take on pelvic AP tilt/sway back. I use your Easy Shoulders and Hips class to help with this, as well as Sandra Carson's bazillion psoas classes. I like seeing your multifaceted approaches to untangle some of our sticking points. Thanks for all you do!

Amazing... I did PT for a long time for SI issues and recognize some of these movements. The PT was helpful and this class is even better ! Thank you Julie

Very useful! Thanks a lot. I have to do this class more often.

Thank you Julie, this makes so much sense to me, I've been experiencing discomfort in my left hip/knee/heel for a week or so, and I haven't felt that a stretch would help, and there you are, strength is required! and this has really put me on a new strength before stretch track, which falling into the age bracket you've mentioned, makes perfect sense. Your clear, personable style really helps. Namaste

How fascinating indeed. Julie, I do your tutorials no matter what. I enjoy the way your talk to us tremendously and I simply KNOW that I will always learn something. What really flashes me though is the fact that it is so opposed to what my way of comfort what look like. A little rolling, a good long yin stretch… - and here you have me using my glutes. There is some kind of weird belief that glute work increases my back pain, however, this class was the complete opposite. I got up from the mat and felt a lightness I haven’t felt for quite a while. I reckon it needs a lot to unwire these assumptions of stretching that I have. THANK YOU so much and I will come back to this class a lot.

Thanks Julie, this is exactly what I needed as a daily start to my day before sitting at my desk! As a new yoga teacher I also enjoy learning exercises for specific muscles. Thank you!

great class, thank you. Hopefully there will be a series with you like you mentioned for over 40 (over 50 here).

Thanks so much Julie. This is just what I needed. Having reached my seventies, I'm just now realizing how much I focused on stretching, rather than strengthening. Now I'm switching my focus! Never too late, right?

Thank you Julie for this class, I have a lower back pain and some ache in my left leg since a couple’s of months. I have tendency to over stretch a lot, so this was really useful for me to hear. I will make those exercises until I feel better and start to stretch later on. Thank you 🙏🏻

Wow - this class addressed my exact problem and I am grateful to now be able to heal myself and get rid of the pain! After you have explained it, it is so obvious what to do. Thank you so much, Julie! Looking forward to the strengthening classes you mentioned.

This class taught me a lot and was very helpful and inspiring. Thank you so much for this so perfectly explained class, dear Julie. I had an injury in my lower back, am in my mid fifties and feel a lot of change within my body. Focusing on strengthening in order to protect this vulnerable area will be practiced by me now in little steps. With gratitude and appreciation, Liane 🙏❤️

Fantastic!! I have a constant tightness in my piriformis and boy does it radiate. Even PT had me do lots of stretching :( I will repeat this and look forward to your strengthening classes!!!

nice one, thanks Julie, I would like to understand more about Psoas as well, would love to hear from you

Julie this is amazing! My back pain totally eased and my left hip flexor which has been so tight relaxed! I am very flexible by nature and I realized my ham strings are weak and overstretched. I feel like I have a new understanding. Thank you!! It helps so much to have and understanding of the way the muscles work.

Thank you, very useful. Is sequence importen?

Thank you for a fab little workout - and although I'm stiff as a board and my risk of overstretching is pretty low, my SI always needs care and says thank you too.

Hi Julie - thanks so much, v helpful for me as I am having a bit of sciatica problem. Will be doing this again and again. Looking forward to your weights programme Namaste Sue x

Feels good! 🙏🏻❤️

Thank you, very instructive, useful and do-able!

Loved this class Julie, thank you so much, and also looking forward to your strength training. I would like to learn how to do that, but I have no clue when it comes to strength and weights. Have a lovely day too.

Bravo Julia, I am a yoga therapist and work in pain therapy. What I always emphasize is to build up the muscles and not just stretch. These exercises are wonderful and I will include them directly in my classes. Thank you X

super useful! thank you so much

That was great Julie . What a difference to hip flexors and walking after that. More please. Should watch again and draw some pics to put on wall to remind me 🪔

This class feels good thanks 🙏🏿 I'm going to incorporate it into my next sequence along with some of your hip work sequence. Looking forward to your strengthening classes as that's my main focus for teaching these days x

Loved this video! So informative. Thank you 🙏

Sorry! Julie! (not Irina!) That's how eager I was to acknowledge the class, that I got yr name wrong. It won't happen again. . . . I'll be looking for your other classes :)

Thank YOU Irina! I have been away from yoga for a long while due to illness followed by weakness and lost strength. Of course, my sciatica was beginning to talk to me as was my lower back. Just from these few minutes following you online, I feel less pain and more 'breathing space' when I got off the mat. Many thanks for sharing your wisdom and these techniques. Very much appreciated.

Everythig is good after your experience! Thank you!

Oh my gosh, Julie, this works wonders! Better than physio. I’ve had this type of pain since the summer, and it goes away with this class and your other class on the IT band (I cycle every day.) Big thanks, also for your fun approach.

This was wonderful Julie! Thanks a lot. My left SI Joint have been bothering me for a while. I'll continue to do this strengthening exercices. Do you think it is ok to do stretching asanas in a more mindful way and to a lower extent? or should I avoid them at all costs? Looking forward to your next classes. Namaste

Great class, Julie! Nice to do familiar movements with emphasis on glutes and hamstrings...and to feel engagement of these muscles without going immediately into stretching them. My SI joints feel happy and looked after, thank you!

Have been having problems with balancing on my right. You have showed me that my left side is dominant. I'm a work in progress. Thank you very much - so helpful and will make part of my weekly routine. Much love. xx

PREHAB! Brilliant. Thank you for giving a word to the preventive exercise that I'm trying to do in my forties. Excellent class as always.

Really helpful. It freed up lower back ache. Thank you.
