• The Hidden Language of Fascia: Translating Your Body's Story

  In this moving episode Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley delve into the hidden language of fascia, and its profound role in helping us to understand and care for ourselves… Fascia SPEAKS, giving us vital insights into our history, our emotions, and our current state, and it says so much through movement. It is the narrator of our stories. So whatever movement modality we teach, or manual therapy we offer, we can deeply benefit our clients (and ourselves!) by learning to read its whispers.Joanne openly shares her personal journey with a diagnosis of breast cancer, and how understanding fascia and its predisposition to serve her, helped her cope and recover. She shares how micromovements, self-love, and support from Paul and the fascia community played a significant role in her healing process.We hope this conversation offers valuable insights and delicious food for thought, especially for those of you teaching movement or practicing manual therapy.

• How Fascia Connects Your Body, Mind and Spirit

  Join me as I build on our recent episode about fascia as a spiritual interface, to delve deeper into the incredible ways this inner web connects our mind, body and spirit! It is both our soft-tissue architecture, and the home of our embodied wisdom and awareness, storing feelings and managing how energy moves through us…We’ll explore fascia’s nature as a liquid crystal matrix - much like the responsive display of our phone screens, or, like chocolate! It is animated by our beingness and connects you to your inner self, even igniting moments of spiritual awakening. Then I share fascia’s utterly mind-blowing embryological origins… It  is literally the sensory means by which you feel your way into form! And thirdly, I touch on that feeling we often get when we hear things like this - a feeling that we already know this, that something resonates with an inherent wisdom we already have…We finish with a lovely practical meditation to help you connect with this directly. When you understand this liquid crystal, you can more easily see how your energy and your responses are connected, healing as your spirit dances within. And by tuning into your fascia, you can tap into deep, inner knowing, remembering your own powerful intuitive wisdom.

• Unlocking the Mystery of Time: Are You Stuck Living in Linear Time? with Shane McDermott

  We live inside a concept of “linear time” and “linear space” and we work on the basis of “linear form” in movement, from the way classical anatomy is taught. Yet fascia, the fascinating “matrix of time and space” in the body - is part of everyone’s non-linear form and non-linear motion...In this episode, Joanne is joined by her friend and colleague Shane McDermott to delve into the fascinating topic of “linear time” and how it can dominate our productivity and our culture and our self-image. What if we have the power to change that, with just a subtle shift in perspective and these beautiful distinctions? Can it impact our sense of self and our soul journey if we expand our understanding in simple ways that change how we perceive our bodies? How we move? How we feel?Join Joanne and Shane as they invite listeners to expand their consciousness and gain a new perspective on, or relationship with, how we interact with time and space. Discover how you can break free from the constraints of linear time and see your way off the treadmill of the “productivity trap” and towards living a more empowered, intuitive, and awakened life. SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.
