JOANNE AVISON
Joanne is an international teacher of applied structural anatomy for movement and manual practitioners:
- structural integration, IASI member
- certified teacher (KMI, Anatomy Trains 1998-2005: Tom Myers school).
- director of the Art of Contemporary Yoga Teacher Training, London, UK.
- trained in craniosacral therapy, and is continuously working on A.R.T. (Autoimmune Response Testing) and F.S.M. (Frequency Specific Microcurrent).
- As a member of the Biotensegrity Interest Group (B.I.G.), Joanne is fascinated with applying Biotensegrity principles to understanding the human footprint and natural structural organization in motion.
Twenty years ago, Joanne had to completely re-invent herself at 40, when her career as a chocolatier abruptly ended and writing, illustrating and a deep fascination with humans being, became her full-time work. She was already a yoga teacher and became a manual practitioner, passionate about “pain removed, performance improved” and making a difference to people. She studied anatomy and archetypes and learned to “speak fluent fascia”. She 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! “Joanne
She is the author of the book: YOGA Fascia Anatomy and Movement published by Handspring Publishing.
