Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups
The Society of Ortho-Bionomy International sponsors monthly Online Study Groups. They are primarily in a conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors via Zoom.
Our Study Groups cover a variety of topics and also count towards the study group requirements in the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Programs.
The receipt received upon registration will have a link to download the handout, any preview materials and the Zoom link. Be sure you have these materials available before you login to the study group.
There is a limit to class size, so be sure to register early.
After a group finishes, all attendees will be emailed an evaluation form for that session. To receive study group credit attendees will need to keep their cameras on during the study group and complete and submit the evaluation form within two weeks.
Recordings of select past study groups are also available in the SOBI Bookstore.
The study groups are a full three hours, with no credit given for homework time.
Out of respect for the Instructor and the other students please be on time for the study group.

Discover the many ways the liver impacts health and how you can support both yourself and your clients toward greater well-being. The liver is extremely intelligent and possibly the hardest-working organ in the body, profoundly impacting our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Understanding the liver's wide-reaching influence on the body's systems can transform how you work with your clients and deepen the effectiveness of your practice.
This class is for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the liver, its relationship with multiple body systems, and how Ortho-Bionomy's gentle, effective approach can support optimal liver function and overall health. You'll learn how effectively Ortho-Bionomy engages with the organs and discover practical ways to support the liver through hands-on techniques and self-care practices.
We will cover:
- In-depth liver anatomy and function
- The liver's profound relationship and effect on digestive, detoxification, immune, blood sugar, hormonal, and structural health
- Ortho-Bionomy approaches and lifestyle strategies to support the liver and promote optimal health for yourself and your clients
