This episode is for anyone who is interested in how their body works, and essential listening for anyone who’s practised or taught yoga, bodyworkers and movement therapists. In my physiology training, I was taught that fascia was a kind of wrapping that covered all our organs and muscles and bones, I’ve worked with it and touched it all my professional life. It turns out I’ve been holding a highly reductive and mechanical concept of fascia. In our conversation, Joanne explains how fascia is in fact the fabric of our whole form, it’s a sensory organ that holds and expresses our experience of life and our personality
Joanne is a former chocolatier, who has become one of the foremost teachers of structural anatomy for movement and bodyworkers, she’s a member of the Biotensegrity Interest Group, who investigates why we move the way we do and her book YOGA Fascia, Anatomy and Movement is now in its 2nd Edition.
If you want to move and feel better and are curious about what fascia is, how it works, how we can nourish it to live better, then stay tuned.
