I love books; I always have. Reading them, learning from them, sharing them and writing them! As a movement and manual practitioner I was privileged to study yoga, fascia, anatomy and how it works - but I couldn't always make sense of how we animate ourselves as beings. When I was invited by Handspring Publishing to write YOGA: Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, I was thrilled to share my decades of learning, teaching, studying and traveling around the world to conferences. More than that - I was given a platform upon which to make sense of 21st Century Anatomy in Practice - for real people, who feel and sense their way through life, uniquely. It's a semi-academic book because I had to find the research to back up the emerging sciences of fascia and biotensegrity in the living body. I am passionate about how we show up in our own lives and how we shape them. Fascia is our instrument of shaping...and I love teaching about that. There's a free podcast on the subject (Pain Removed, Performance Improved) and lots more besides - via joanneavison.com. Thank you for being on this journey with me...
