    Fascia and Strength: Why More Isn’t Always Better

    Real strength isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about moving smarter. In this episode, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore how fascia, biomechanics, and functional training reshape the way we think about strength. They discuss why “more effort” doesn’t always mean “more power,” and how the body’s connective intelligence — fascia — plays a vital role in building functional, sustainable strength that supports rather than strains. Through practical insights and fascia-focused awareness, they uncover what true strength really feels like: elastic, responsive, and deeply integrated. This conversation is for teachers, therapists, and movers who want to go beyond muscle-based training and develop an intelligent relationship with the body’s natural architecture. In this episode: Why more effort doesn’t always create more strengthThe difference between force and functional movementFascia as the body’s intelligent support systemHow awareness improves flexibility, recovery, and performanceMyofascial training and dynamic resilience in practice Learn more about fascia-focused education and embodied movement: https://myofascialmagic.com #fasciatraining #functionaltraining #myofascialrelease #biomechanics #functionalfitness #fasciaflexibility #somaticintelligence SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    From Fish to Fascia: The Hidden Law of Human Movement

    Discover the hidden geometry of movement that links fish, fascia, and the fluid intelligence of the human body... In this episode Joanne takes us further into the 'Law of Three', exploring how two planes of motion always create a third. Highlighting insights from the brilliant Serge Gracovetsky, she explains how different movements in nature, from fish to mammals, demonstrate this fundamental law. And she reveals how spirals and tubular structures underlie human form, motion, and the natural intelligence of our bodies. This conversation invites you to reimagine anatomy as a living architecture — not a fixed system of parts, but a dynamic relationship of motion, matter, and meaning. Perfect for movement professionals, manual therapists, and fascia enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding of human movement. In this episode: Evolution of Motion: From Sea to LandThe hidden role of spirals in the bodyWhy fascia is the true connector of structure and functionThe importance of 'dynamic instability'Movement, flow, and somatic intelligence in practiceLearn more about fascia-informed training and embodiment: https://myofascialmagic.com #fasciatraining #humanmovement #functionalmovement #mobilitytraining #fasciascience SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    How the Law of Three Shapes Time, Fascia & Awareness

    Time isn’t just something we measure — it’s something we feel. In this episode, Joanne Avison explores how the Law of Three reveals deeper layers of time, fascia, and awareness. Moving beyond linear thinking, she reflects on how the body experiences past, present, and “pre-sent” time through the fascia — the connective tissue that unites structure, sensation, and consciousness. Through her signature fascia-informed perspective, Joanne invites you to explore how presence, patience, and embodied awareness open a gateway to spiritual insight and healing. It’s a journey through the science and soul of time — and how the body itself holds ancient wisdom. In this episode:  Understanding the Law of Three through fascia and time  How the body remembers and reshapes past experience  Fascia as the living bridge between matter and awareness  The role of mindfulness and somatic therapy in healing  Embodied awareness and the mystery of “pre-sense”  Awakening presence through spiritual embodiment  Explore more at https://myofascialmagic.com #mindfulness #spiritualawakening #somatictherapy #healingjourney #spiritualawareness #fasciaflow SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    The Law of Three: Cells, Tissues & the In-Between

    The human body isn’t mechanical — it’s relational. This episode explores the Law of Three and how it reveals a hidden harmony between cells, tissues, and the in-between. Drawing from fascia science, biomechanics, and embodied somatics, Joanne explains how the body functions as a living system — where structure, flow, and awareness are constantly communicating. Through the lens of holistic anatomy and somatic healing, she invites us to look beyond reductionist models of the human body and discover how fascia connects everything: biology, emotion, movement, and consciousness. In this episode: The Law of Three and the architecture of living anatomyHow fascia bridges biomechanics and embodied somaticsMicro to macro: understanding relationships between parts and wholeFascia as the tissue of relationship, not separationThe in-between as a living field of communicationSomatic awareness and self-development through embodiment Learn more about fascia-focused education and embodied practice: https://myofascialmagic.com #fasciascience #somatichealing #biomechanics #embodiedadsomatics #holistichealing SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.

    Why Things Take Time: Fascia, Learning & Presence

    Why do things take time? Fascia, learning, and presence hold the answer. In this episode Joanne reflects on fascia as the tissue of time, how it carries our stories, rhythms, and presence and why learning and healing require patience. Through teaching experiences, personal stories, and embodied practice, she explores how slowing down can create space for self-awareness, spiritual wisdom, and genuine transformation. You’ll hear how micro-movements, fascia therapy, and mindfulness practice shift us from rushing through life and missing things, into creative flow states, inner harmony, and calm presence. This is an invitation to give yourself permission to take time for deep work, self-care, and embodied integration.
