Jason Crandell quote saying "Yoga is a balanced equation between stiffness and mobility, flexibility and strength."

For almost three years, Jason has resisted addressing your questions about the sacroiliac joint (SI) — mostly because it’s such a complex topic for a podcast. But today! I wore him down. He addresses a listener question about the mysterious sacrum and the soreness that so often comes along with yoga practice. He talks about:

  • Why, why, why?? do we so often experience sacral pain in yoga
  • What is often happening to the sacrum when we experience pain flare-ups
  • The role that the piriformis can play in SI soreness
  • How to alter your yoga practice to get out of pain for good
