Serena Arora Details 6-Step Yoga Routine for Jaw and Sacrum Tension

1 articles · Updated · Fit and Well · Jun 19

Summary

  • A six-step sequence from yoga therapist Serena Arora targets jaw and sacrum tension with floor-based movements, breathwork, and self-massage using a tennis ball and mat.
  • Arora says stress often drives jaw clenching and that the jaw and sacrum “mirror each other,” making both areas worth treating together even though research on the link remains limited.
  • The routine moves from side lengthening and spinal undulation to sacral release, TMJ massage, neck release, and a short savasana, with most exercises repeated 4-5 times per side.
  • One small study cited in the report found people with chronic temporomandibular disorders had significantly different sacral positions from healthy individuals, pointing to a possible biomechanical connection.
