Where Science Meets Movement
A Message from Dr. Jeff Saal
Discover how decades of medical research and mindful movement converge in SAAL Yoga Fundamentals. In this exclusive message, Dr. Jeff Saal shares the science, purpose, and vision behind a new standard in safe, evidence-based yoga for spinal health.
When it comes to spine health, few names carry the depth of expertise and innovation that Dr. Jeff Saal brings. In this special message, Dr. Saal shares the story behind SAAL Yoga and the decades of medical research, clinical practice, and movement science that shaped it.
For more than forty years, Dr. Saal has been at the forefront of musculoskeletal medicine. As co-founder of SOAR Medical Group in 1980, he helped set a new standard in spine care—one focused on the least invasive and most effective treatments possible. He has served as team physician for the San Francisco 49ers, Stanford University, and Santa Clara University, caring for elite athletes, world leaders, and everyday individuals striving to move without pain.
Drawing from a career dedicated to clinical excellence and research—alongside decades of martial arts study and formal training in both Western medicine and Chinese acupuncture—Dr. Saal has long championed the integration of Eastern and Western principles of healing. That fusion forms the foundation of SAAL Yoga Fundamentals, developed in collaboration with yoga teacher Nicole Saal Miller.
Their shared vision: to merge evidence-based medicine with the mindful movement of yoga, creating a method that prioritizes safety, functional stability, and spinal alignment while restoring freedom of movement.
In this special message, Dr. Saal explains how this approach builds the stability, balance, and resilience essential to lifelong spine health—without strain, force, or guesswork. SAAL Yoga Fundamentals replaces ambiguity with clarity, showing exactly how to strengthen and support your body safely.
