ADJUSTING | ASANA | ANATOMY
As we continue to evolve, adjusting to today’s fast paced, technologically advanced environment is critical to staying relevant. Yoga has swept the nation in the past 20 years due to its proven health benefits and Chiropractic has grown in popularity as one of the top natural health care professions in the world. The intersection of the fields of neuroscience, biomechanics, epigenetics, metaphysics and quantum physics were once foreign concepts, yet today stand as part of our fundamental understanding of life, health and wellbeing. Perhaps it stands to reason that Yoga and Chiropractic could co-leverage their respective benefits and principles more powerfully together than separately. In time this integration will serve as an authentic model of training used by all Doctors of Chiropractic around the world.
The YOC’s Mission is to help propel the DC or student of chiropractic to become better aligned, connected and energized as CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTORS. As lifelong students we constantly seek ways to enhance and engage more powerfully much like a Philosopher, Scientist or Artist who consistently pushes the boundaries of innovation.
While it doesn’t matter what style you currently prefer THE YOGA OF CHIROPRACTIC can refine & improve the ways in which you are presently approaching your adjustment…. and your state of being. You do not have to change techniques, methods or tribes. Simply, it’s a technique enhancer. Leveraging Yoga’s sacred step by step approach with its subtle energetic and alignment principles to get you connected to the centers within your spine, heart and hands, combined with Chiropractic’s renown bio-mechanical specificity, you can consistently deliver adjustments with concentrated focus, harnessed speed, fluidity and results.
THE YOGA - CHIROPRACTIC CONNECTION
Being a Yogi means to be a continuous student with intention and discipline. Yoga is about understanding your body, your breath and your mindset and as the practitioner this is also our duty. This practice is about learning and knowing yourself and living to your fullest potential. It's about awareness. It is about connection: between yourself and others… so you can SERVE MAXIMALLY. In fact, one of the greatest Chiropractors whoever lived, Dr. B.J Palmer once said: The sincere yogi would make an excellent chiropractor for getting sick well If he had knowledge and ability to correct the intermediary adjustment to restore power of internal innate, to perfect greater understanding.
And that is the information I wish to share with you. To transform into a HOLLOW BONE so that you can connect deeply to the person on your table and then deliver a high level chiropractic adjustment at a higher consciousness.

Like the energy centers that originate at the bottom of the spine, so will our approach to adjusting.
We’ll begin at the bottom of the spine at the sacrum and pelvis and ascend upward to the top. We’ll blend authors Drs. Panjabi and White's research on biomechanical information concerning the spine, its components, and the spinal cord from the book, Clinical Biomechanics of the Spine: Spine, with Chiropractic Adjusting Techniques (ie: Palmer, Gonstead, Motion Palpation, Diversified, and Upper Cervical).
