This week’s episode is Joanne's response to a request – to talk about Geometry and what it means in understanding the body. It’s a fascinating exploration.
Joanne's response includes a reading from her book Yoga Fascia Anatomy and Movement. She talks about how important Geometry is to our form – and how the ancient wisdom behind Yoga and the Sanskrit language (among other languages) is much incredibly sophisticated.
It is really an invitation to appreciate how complex and brilliant the body is - literally and symbolically. We hear how, in the East (where the being and the body were not separated and segregated from each other) such a unified system incorporates sound, and the geometry that makes sense of our nature...

Join us for an informal discussion between Paul and Joanne about the art and wonder of dissection. It can be so valuable – and practitioners can learn so much – yet there are some distinctions to understand about it.
“Both of us have had the privilege of working with – indeed – learning with, John Sharkey – and we are better practitioners for having been in the Lab with him on so many occasions...”
You will hear all about that in this podcast, as well as learning about many of the eye-opening, empowering, and downright surprising discoveries we've both made through our own dissection journeys.
PLUS, WE WANTED TO SHARE TWO INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITIES WITH YOU, TO EXPERIENCE DISSECTION FIRSTHAND...

Competitive versus Collective – this is such an important theme in the personal and the professional field – especially in bodywork and movement therapy. Exploring these ideas can be so helpful in expanding our awareness of other modalities, and enhancing the actual work we do!
In this episode Joanne Avison considers how we can sometimes be in competition with ourselves – and how it can work to give ourselves the opportunity to “collect” a broader base of information and grow with it...
This theme, of the power of the collective, is deep to Cynthia Allen’s ethos in the upcoming Move Better Feel Better Summit this year, where Joanne will be speaking on Sunday 5th May. It's all online and FREE to join and receive this collective wisdom, so click below to find out all about it!

Paul and Joanne share their experience and stories about pelvic issues, how they affect so many of us, and... how misunderstood they might be! How can we “rephrase” our understanding of the mythical “Pelvic Floor” and discover the magic of releasing the Pelvic Foot?
This is not a made up idea, by movement instructors who didn’t like learning anatomy! Paul talks about the key science behind this structural understanding of the human body. Effectively, you have a pelvic foot – not a pelvic floor... It’s true, and magic happens when you know that, know how to treat that and know how to move so that you can enjoy freedom from so many issues that are usually assigned to the “pelvic floor”.
There are many elements in Myofascial Magic that we can bring to the table (or mat or machine when we are teaching) that will automagically enhance all kinds of issues!
If you would like more information on the next available course, visit myofascialmagic.com and press the 'Start Now' button to watch our free training.
You can also book an informal friendly call to chat to Joanne or Paul any time, either after you've watched the training, or simply by emailing us to say hi on [email protected]!MORE INFO

The Summit is live online around the world and you can click here to join the summit and enjoy his and many other workshops, including Joanne’s.
Enjoy, with blessings and magic where science and spirit meet!

Shoulders are such an expressive part of us! A shrug can replace a thousand words, right? Do you, or any of your clients, experience shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, aching, stiffness or just limited range of motion in this amazing, if complex, “joint”?
In this episode Paul and Joanne share some delightful stories about shoulders. What do you gain from training them? How can you avoid straining them? What are the many elements in Myofascial Magic that we can bring to the table (or mat or machine, when we are teaching) that will automagically enhance working with shoulders?
There are some really valuable points in this fascinating discussion.
If you'd like more information on the next available Myofascial Magic In Action course, you can watch our free webinar here or contact us on [email protected] to book a free informal discovery chat with Paul or Joanne. We always love hearing from you!

This episode covers the importance of fascia and how John Sharkey regards it as a process, rather than an object. It explains why some of us have difficulty defining fascia, or describing its paradigm-shifting significance to our colleagues and clients, friends and family. John is such a fabulous story teller and so well informed that you can literally collect the gems as we romp through this discussion covering a number of topics from surgery and dissection to crystal healing and consciousness!!
Interviewing John is always a delight and you can enjoy other episodes with him in previous series of this podcast too.
For further information on Human Dissection Programmes under John’s brilliant supervision, please you can enquire at https://ntc.ie/course/dissection-italy/

Welcome to the second episode of our Myofascial Magic strand! I recently co-founded Myofascial Magic In Action with the esteemed Paul Thornley, with the mission of providing practitioners with client-centred micro-movement keys. And now we're bringing you our shared passion - and the answer to some of your burning questions - in the form of this special joint podcast series, releasing every couple of weeks.
In this episode we talk about one of the most fundamental movements of most of our lives - WALKING... Fifteen years ago Monty Python did a sketch called The Ministry of Silly Walks. It was hilarious (look it up on YouTube for a giggle!). But the truth is, that we all have a walking pattern that may or may not serve us as well as it could. Have you watched animals walking? Have you noticed that different people often mimic different animals? Like Penguins (that tend to rock and shuffle), or Bears (who have an ipsilateral swing) or Flamingos, that spiral-lift one foot after the other. It’s fascinating.
A great deal of the biomechanical information out there about “correct walking gait” focuses on foot placement and toe-heel relationships. It measures things like stride length and all sorts of metrics that prove pretty meaningless in practice. They fail us miserably when we just want to be able to move well and BONUS – actually receive energy from walking, rather than lose it. YES – that is possible.
In this episode Paul tells a gorgeous story from his army days and how cleverly walking was understood so that a unit of soldiers (of all different heights, sizes and abilities) could all walk in sync and arrive at the same time. What actually happens when we recognise how the Pelvic Foot works? How do we release rebound energy? And even give it back to the body? Listen in as we explore it all!
We hope you get a lot out of this conversation,
thank you for being here,
Joanne and Paul

It's just been Mother's Day here in the UK, which inspired me to take a deep dive into "the in-between" which is a rich source of magic in my life. As a mother and a daughter, I live in the in-between of those two roles. This podcast is a bit about my personal journey with that, the in-between tissue of the fascia, and how this incredible matrix forms the in-between of us... We are all, after all, seeking the magic balance between understanding the science and spirit of this living architecture of ours! It's the magic of that I get so hooked on!
You can tell how important that magic is to me by the title of my next book, and course of the same name, Myofascial Magic In Action. Watch this space for the publication date, and listen to the special MMIA episodes I'm doing with Paul Thornley on this channel, to find out more about the course.
Wishing you all well,
Joanne

Welcome to the second episode of this new season, in which I interview the wonderful Dr Karen Kirkness!
Karen is a yoga practitioner and recovering academic. Her book, Spiral Bound: Integrated Anatomy for Yoga, provides a rationale for curating movement practices that are led by the rotational constraints of the body. In this podcast (recorded in 2023 before Karen was rightfully awarded her PhD) we share our admiration for each other’s work and our fascination with spiral anatomy.
If you are a movement teacher or manual practitioner; if you are a mother, a daughter, a husband, a son, a father, a friend or a professional colleague, if you juggle and spin one hundred plates on sticks – (ie, if you have a pulse) – then there is magic in this conversation for you too. It is published in celebration of Dr Kirkness’s work, and in loving appreciation of her contribution to the world.
I hope you enjoy us enjoying each other as much as we did!
JoanneMORE ABOUT DR KAREN KIRKNESS:
Karen holds a doctorate in medical sciences from Hull York Medical Student where she currently teaches embryology and anatomy. She's based near Edinburgh, Scotland, and owns Meadowlark Yoga studio on the heart of the Meadows. Find her online or building dens in the forest with her 2 kids.

For many it’s the season for gifting, and I want to share a very special gift with you, dear Listener!
John Sharkey and Mark Flannigan have just released a gold standard, peer-reviewed research paper which seeks to move us towards an interdisciplinary definition of fascia, particularly for the benefit of all fascia-focused movement and manual practitioners. It’s an incredible and important piece of work, so I couldn’t resist sharing it with you in this special episode.
Every movement instructor and manual practitioner I meet seeks to help others to move better and feel better. We all strive to do our best within our respective modalities and “scope of practice”. Yet we find the definition of fascia elusive – because it is. It’s elusive to us, to the medical professions and to our clients, when we try to translate what we’re doing and why. Learning about fascia and myofascial behaviours is rapidly becoming essential to all practitioners. Yet where do we start, if we don’t have a definition that makes sense to us all?
In this brand new paper these esteemed authors offer some brilliant insights and answers, which I attempt to describe and slightly “storify” for you here, so that regardless of your modality or familiarity with reading research, you’ll feel inspired and confident to sit down and read it.
If you only want a general overview – and can’t wait to read the actual piece – then stop at the 26:10 minute mark – and go to the paper from there. If you’d enjoy the deeper insights, then keep on to the cliff-hanger at the end! Either way – please gift yourself the paper and ENJOY!!
With love and light, Joanne

In this episode we get to hear about the beautiful experience of birthing when there is reverence and preparation for gentle empowerment of the The Mother (which is somehow defined by the Newborn). Alison is so experienced as a midwife, yoga teacher and hypnobirthing facilitator that she naturally describes how different it can be in real life to the TV sensationalised version of birth as a stressful (or even distressing) procedure. It can also be very calm, with very little intervention and augmented by a beautiful approach to what the word "midwife" really means. The lovely Alison talks us through the "mandala" of links between Yoga, Midwifery, hypnobirthing and hypnotherapy as the most valuable tools for bringing us into self-awareness - almost "birthing ourselves" into a natural way of being, so that we can manage anxiety and find a quiet, self-respectful centre whenever we need to. We also touch upon the subject of food addiction in both Alison's professional and personal life; and come beautifully full circle at the end of our conversation, when Alison talks about the death of two family members, and her role - as with birth - in holding space and working gently to support this process of transitioning from one world to another. Welcome to midwifery and the lovely role it can be both literally and symbolically!

Permaculture is the fascinating world that Justin Robertshaw has made his home - along with a deep yoga practice and understanding, through experience, of Ayurveda as an applied Healing Art. This was a fascinating and fun dive into how all these elements form the mandala by which Justin makes such a difference in the world. It's really inspiring how he links so many teachings together, with YOU and your "why" as the key to joining the dots. His approach is so multidimensional, yet easy to understand, it was a lesson in so many ways for me. This episode left me inspired and even compelled to explore more...I hope it does for you too!

Jill Miller is the author and creative practitioner behind Roll Model and her newest book Body By Breath. It's a remarkable achievement! Somehow, as Jill describes in this podcast, the book makes you feel safe in your fascination and enquiry into breathing better. Which means sleeping better. Which means feeling better....it's all in there in a very comprehensive deep dive for all types of people. If you are a practitioner you can feast on the first part - before you move into the practical practices. If you are not - you can skip it and still get so much magic out of the second half. It's crammed with accessible, beautifully illustrated practices and QR codes to find video resources. Everyone is catered for. Which makes sense - everyone breathes!! Right?

"In the Museum" is a metaphor that Christine Wushke uses to teach anatomy to her yoga teachers, in the Myofascial Yoga Institute of Canada. It's a delightful way of honouring all that is classical and traditional and how it grows into the newest information on Fascia and Fasciategrity and moving the art and science of yoga forward! Christine is also a practitioner of Structural Integration so her deep appreciation of all aspects of being human, brings a special quality to her work. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
