  • Joanne Avison

    MSS, KMI, CTK, C-IAYT, E-RYT500

    Twenty years ago, I had to completely re-invent myself at 40, when my career as a chocolatier abruptly ended and writing, illustrating and a deep fascination with humans being, became my full-time work. I was already a yoga teacher and became a manual practitioner, passionate about “pain removed, performance improved” and making a difference to people. I studied anatomy and archetypes and learned to “speak fluent fascia”. I discovered some fabulous secrets about the grace and mystery of our moving matrix.

    Curiously, everyone has their own movement signature and body dialect. “What makes us all the same, is that we are all unique” and we each have our own posture profile (and fascia type)! Twenty years later, I appreciate how important it is to meet and match our clients’ unique expression – and know our own!

    If you teach movement, of any stripe, you have a special gift to share, and a unique style. Without compromising your self-expression or theirs, you can transform your confidence, your clients and your classes – safely and superbly. Learning to speak fascia, you can unlock the language of the living body – and the signature-style of the one who animates it!

    YOGA Fascia, Anatomy and Movement is now in its 2nd Edition and I love animating all that it researches and reveals, so everyone can move better!

He truly enjoys introducing yoga to beginners and watching them grow in their practice and is grateful to be able to share his passion and knowledge with all of his students.
