Moving & Breathing for Healing

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

― John Muir

What if your body had invisible highways of power and connection—running from head to toe? front to back? side to side? even across?

Well, it does. They’re called myofascial meridians—lines of connective tissue that link muscles and bones and nerves and organs for awareness and action.

👉 In this week’s podcast + YouTube episode, discover 5 Myofascial Meridians, plus:

  • Points of Interest. (like how the superficial front line wraps around the back of the skull like a hook.)
  • Questions to connect with them. (what’s the quality of my back body?)
  • Qualities to look for. (VOLUME & ECHO for the Deep Front Line)
  • At the end, I recommend practices for each meridian.

This episode will completely change how you see your body.

When you know your inner map, movement becomes much more interesting.

May your practice tug on you,
Alison

PS: Asana Strong is where yoga-asana meets movement-science. Practices are organized around myofascial meridians for whole-body power. That's how it feels like the yoga you love, but builds the strength that you need. I'm opening up 2 spots for a 1:1 Asana Strong Mentorship. See what's included here. Interested?
