Moving & Breathing for Healing

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.”

― Steve Maraboli

When you think about healing aches and pain, building strength, being able to do your favorite things... what do you think of? Probably muscles or joints. But there’s something else holding you together. Fascia.

It's your body's living web. And it's amazing.

  • It wraps around and weaves through everything—muscles, bones, organs, nerves.
  • It has 6–10x more sensory nerve endings than muscle. Making it not just structural but perceptual and emotional.
  • It’s recording. Every posture, habit, injury and insult is expressed in its texture and tone.

Here’s the best news: fascia is constantly remodeling based on how you’re moving, breathing, resting, hydrating, and responding to stress. It can become springy, strong, and supple.... or.... stiff, sticky, and prone to injury. Your habits decide.

When you care for your living web, you’re not just working on strength or flexibility—you’re building resilience from the inside out.
​
​The first step is understanding what fascia is, what it's not, and why it's a paradigm shift. It's like looking at your body through a whole new lens.
​
​Expand your vision with this weeks’ podcast: Fascia: What It Is, What It's Not, and Why It Changes Everything​

May your practice build resilience,
Alison

20 Minute Miracles 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...
