    Thank You For Having Me: The Story Behind the Story

    What does it mean to truly say, “Thank you for having me”? In this deeply personal opening episode of a new series, Joanne Avison reflects on the final hours recently spent with her mother, Stephani, and the profound sense of gratitude that emerged. What begins as a story about her passing becomes a tribute to connection, to family, to love and the invisible architecture that shapes a life. Joanne traces the lessons passed down through generations, from an adored grandfather and a thoughtful father to a remarkable mother whose influence will continue in the lives she shaped around her.  You’ll hear: The simple phrase that inspired an entire seriesHow family values become part of who we areWhy gratitude can coexist with the sadness of griefThe stories, sayings, and lessons that shape a lifeWhat it means to carry those we love forward in our hearts How we begin to understand the house that made usThe connection between Joanne’s lifelong work on fascia and the themes explored in this series Although this series is more personal than Joanne's usual teaching, it remains deeply connected to the themes that have shaped her work for decades. Just as fascia folds, unfolds, adapts, and develops its own unique architecture, so too do the patterns of our lives. This series explores the people, experiences, and relationships that were being written into us long before we knew how to read them… The first of four short episodes, Thank You For Having Me is Joanne's tribute and exploration of the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shaped her life, and an invitation to reflect on your own. Thank you for being here. And, as always, thank you for having me. 🙏 SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: The Dodecahedron and the Fifth Element

    What if the geometry of wholeness is already expressing itself through you?  In this final episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne explores the dodecahedron: the geometry of ether, the fifth element, and the archetypal pattern of wholeness that underlies all living form. Drawing together the themes of the entire series, Joanne reveals how the dodecahedron contains the golden ratio within every face, how it relates to self-organisation, completion, and living presence, and why ancient traditions considered it the geometry of the cosmos itself… You’ll discover: Why the dodecahedron is associated with ether and wholenessHow the pentagon and pentagram express the golden ratio (phi)Why five is the archetypal number of lifeThe role of decussation and crossing patterns throughout the bodyWhat chirality reveals about human form and developmentWhy sacred geometry is not abstract theory, but living anatomy in motionFrom fascia and physiology to Vedic mathematics, the Flower of Life, and the hidden patterns found throughout nature, this episode brings the journey full circle and lays the foundation for the next stage of exploration. This is the concluding episode of the first Sacred Geometry series, exploring the five Platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, embodiment, human architecture, and the deeper intelligence of life itself. 🌟 Learn more about Joanne’s fascia-focused training here:  https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: The Octahedron and the Breath Between Worlds

    What if the breath itself was a geometric event unfolding through your body? In this episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne explores the octahedron: the geometry of air, breath, dynamic equilibrium, and the poised relationship between opposing forces. Beginning with a single conscious breath, this conversation journeys through fascia, tensegrity, Leonardo da Vinci, Vitruvian Man, sacred mathematics, and the hidden geometric principles that shape living form from within. You’ll discover: Why the octahedron represents air and dynamic equilibriumHow the diaphragm embodies geometric balance in the bodyWhat the star tetrahedron and Solomon’s Seal reveal about living structuresHow breath connects “earth” and “sky” within the human formWhy Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man contains hidden sacred geometryHow tension and compression organise fascia and movementThis episode is part of an ongoing Sacred Geometry series exploring the five platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, movement, awareness, embodiment, and the deeper intelligence of life itself… 🌟 Learn more about Joanne’s fascia-focused training here:  https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: How The Icosahedron Shapes Your Reality

    What if the shape of water was also the shape of life itself? In this episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne Avison explores the icosahedron: the geometry of water, flow, fascia, and living form. From soap bubbles and spheres to Fibonacci, pi, tensegrity, and the liquid crystal nature of the human body, this conversation reveals why the icosahedron sits at the heart of the living fascial matrix, and how its geometry shapes the way we move, breathe, adapt, and experience reality itself. You’ll discover: Why the icosahedron is the geometry of water and flowHow spheres are actually high-frequency icosahedronsThe relationship between fascia, bound water, and tensegrityWhy living systems are designed to move, not lockHow Fibonacci, phi, and pi relate to human formWhat “fasciategrity” reveals about the body’s deeper architectureWhy the body is fundamentally round, responsive, and nonlinearThis episode is part of an ongoing Sacred Geometry series exploring the five platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, movement, awareness, and embodied human experience. 🌟 Learn more about Joanne’s fascia-focused training here:  https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: The Hexahedron and the Geometry of Grounding

    What if the geometry of the cube was a transient aspect of you before you were even an embryo? In this episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne explores the hexahedron: the geometry of earth, embodiment, and the earliest sacred geometric patterns of human form…  You’ll discover: Why the cube appears briefly during the earliest human developmentHow the body grows through geometric patterns rather than mechanical onesThe deeper symbolic meaning of “earth” within sacred geometryHow fascia carries memory, responsiveness, and formWhat sacred geometry reveals about the intelligence of life itselfJoanne also explores the tension between the rounded, adaptive nature of living bodies and the straight-lined world we have built around ourselves, and why understanding this changes the way we think about movement, embodiment, and human design. This episode is part of an ongoing series exploring the five platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, movement, awareness, and embodied human experience. 🌟 Learn more about Joanne’s fascia-focused training here: https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: The Tetrahedron and the Beginning of Structure

    What is the simplest structure the body can form… and why does it matter for movement, fascia, and transformation? Joanne continues this popular new Sacred Geometry mini-series by exploring the first true three-dimensional form: the tetrahedron. Following on from the previous episode on zero, this conversation moves from potential into form. Joanne explains how four points create the first possible volume in space, and why this shape is not just mathematical, but deeply relevant to the living body… In fact, the tetrahedron is a foundational pattern of structure, transformation, and organisation within fascia and movement. You’ll discover: Why four points create the first three-dimensional structureHow the tetrahedron represents transformation and “fire”The role of triangulation in structural integrityHow fascia distributes force through dynamic relationshipsHow geometry underpins movement, stability, and adaptabilityDrawing on anatomy, embryology, tensegrity, and somatic awareness, Joanne connects the tetrahedron to how the body actually forms, moves, and responds in real life. This episode is part of an ongoing sacred geometry series, where each instalment explores one of the five platonic solids and its relevance to the human body, movement, and embodied awareness. 🌟 If you’d like to explore how this work applies in practice, learn more here:  https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Sacred Geometry: The Missing Link Between Fascia and Form

    What is the missing link between fascia and form… and how does sacred geometry help us understand the body more clearly? Following the popularity of previous episodes on this topic, and in response to so many questions from you, this new mini-series revisits sacred geometry in a deeper way. Join Joanne as she explores the fascinating geometric principles that underpin the human body, beginning with the concept of zero, the often-overlooked starting point from which all form emerges.  Rather than treating geometry as abstract theory, Joanne shows how it reflects the way the body actually forms and organises itself. Through a fascia-focused lens, sacred geometry becomes a living language of structure, movement, and awareness. You’ll discover: How sacred geometry relates directly to human formWhat “zero” represents in both geometry and the bodyWhy opposites depend on an organising “in-between”How the body develops from a single spherical cell into complex structureDrawing on anatomy, embryology, and somatic movement, this episode lays the foundation for understanding the five platonic solids of sacred geometry and their relevance to the living body. 🌟 If you’d like to explore training with Joanne, learn more here:  https://www.myofascialmagic.com/mmia-programme-info SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.
