What are the unique differences and values of training together in-person versus training together online? Why does getting into your own rhythm — your personal flow of movement and expression — matter so much?Expect personal insights, a few laughs, and plenty of inspiration as they explore the physical and metaphysical power of movement. You'll hear why finding your own unique style, sequences, and myofascial repertoire is SO important, and how that can unlock something truly transformational...

Beyond the Diaphragm: How Breathing Shapes the Whole Body
Breathing is more than the diaphragm — fascia, movement, and the whole body collaborate in every breath you take.In this episode of the Myofascial Magic in Action Podcast, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore the deeper story of breathing. Is the diaphragm really the primary muscle of breath, or is it part of a much larger system involving fascia, ribs, viscera, feet, and movement itself?Together we look at:Why breathing is both instinctive and influenced by environmentThe diaphragm as fascia-infused architecture, not just muscleDissection insights that challenge common breathing mythsThe role of the psoas, ribcage, and pericardium in breathHow rotation, walking, and subtle micro-movements influence breathingTrauma, breath holding, and the memory stored in tissueWhy receiving the breath can shift body, mind, and wellbeingBreath shapes more than oxygen exchange — it informs posture, relaxation, performance, and even emotional resilience. This conversation invites you to rethink the diaphragm, rediscover your breath, and experience how fascia and movement make breathing a whole-body process.✨ Subscribe for more fascia-focused conversations.SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

In this episode, Joanne and Paul explore how fascia can hold patterns of past experience — and how subtle movement, attention, and storytelling can gently unravel what’s been stuck.You’ll hear Paul talk about how our environment — from a noisy shopping mall to a quiet walk — can radically change how our body responds. And why noticing what actually “works” for us might be the key to healing, not forcing.From micro-movement medicine to the Goldilocks zone of performance, this is a fascia-first, emotionally intelligent conversation for anyone working with the body.SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

The Joanne Avison Podcast is a journey into Spiritual Science, examining the sacred geometry of human form and motion and how the Fascia Matrix changes all we thought we knew about human bodies. Reflecting on her rich experience as a movement and manual therapy practitioner, Certified Archetypal Consultant, ordained minister and Doctor of Spiritual Science; Joanne challenges our assumptions of human anatomy, and asks us to consider the "Humans Being" as intimately relating "soma to soul" such that they can't really be useful separated. Joanne animates the true meaning of practical spirituality and the patterns of (our) body and being as one!! Told through artful storytelling and conversations with scientists, researchers, teachers, clients and curious fellow beings; this podcast will spark your curiosity of humans “being in bodies”, and inspire your life-long inquiry into who you really are.
