Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups

Ortho-BionomyThe 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.


 

Phase 7 and Intro to Life Mastery


with SOBI Registered Advanced Instructor Rouel Cazanjian

December 18, 2025

6:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Central, 4:00 PM Mountain, 3:00 PM Pacific, 12:00 PM Hawaii (US and Canada)

Three hours--Online through Zoom

SOBI member $55; non-member $75


We will review the steps of Phase 7 as taught by Arthur Pauls, DO (UK), with some extra steps and refinements I added. Previous training with Phase 7 is not a requirement, but if you haven’t taken a Phase 7 class, please connect with a colleague who has been trained in Phase 7 and experience a session of this amazing work.

I will also introduce you to a work I developed called Life Mastery, which is the only program in the world that uses the principles of Phase 7 to achieve psychological well-being, happiness, and success. In Life Mastery, we harvest the steps of Phase 7, one at a time, to see how they may show up in our lives and how practicing them can make our lives better.

The homework before class will be to look over my 26-page comprehensive outline, try one Phase 7 session for 5-10 minutes, and practice at least two of the exercises on pages 16-17.

The class outline is designed for my 16-hour Phase 7 class but is being gifted to you for taking this study group and supporting SOBI. Some of the material may be hard to fully grasp, as I explain a lot during class. However, I am confident that after you take the study group, you will be able to use it for life. For now, just get whatever you can from the outline and practice it the best you can. All questions will be answered in the study group. Thank you for your support of SOBI!

Past Study Groups

Did you miss a previous study group? Recordings of select past study groups are available in the SOBI Bookstore. Take advantage of these excellent resources to deepen your understanding and practice of Ortho-Bionomy. The two newest available recordings include:

Combining Ortho-Bionomy and EFT
with Bettina Joy Beaucamp
Explore the combination of Ortho-Bionomy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)! Both approaches empower the client, are gentle, and non-invasive. In this study group you will learn: why EFT is so effective; the basic protocol for EFT as well as how to create scripts in EFT; how clients can use EFT as a self-care tool; and how to use EFT before, during, or after an Ortho-Bionomy session.

Ask Luann Anything
with Luann Overmyer
Spend time with Luann Overmyer, an Advanced Instructor with over 40 years of Ortho-Bionomy experience and one of the original developers of the Society’s training programs. In this special session, she answers wide-ranging questions on working with pain, refining techniques, deepening client relationships, and supporting self-care. Whether you’re looking for practical skills or personal insight, Luann’s wisdom offers guidance to enrich both your practice and your own well-being.
