Real strength isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about moving smarter.

In this episode, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore how fascia, biomechanics, and functional training reshape the way we think about strength. They discuss why “more effort” doesn’t always mean “more power,” and how the body’s connective intelligence — fascia — plays a vital role in building functional, sustainable strength that supports rather than strains.

Through practical insights and fascia-focused awareness, they uncover what true strength really feels like: elastic, responsive, and deeply integrated. This conversation is for teachers, therapists, and movers who want to go beyond muscle-based training and develop an intelligent relationship with the body’s natural architecture.

In this episode:

• Why more effort doesn’t always create more strength
• The difference between force and functional movement
• Fascia as the body’s intelligent support system
• How awareness improves flexibility, recovery, and performance
• Myofascial training and dynamic resilience in practice

Discover the hidden geometry of movement that links fish, fascia, and the fluid intelligence of the human body...

In this episode Joanne takes us further into the 'Law of Three', exploring how two planes of motion always create a third. Highlighting insights from the brilliant Serge Gracovetsky, she explains how different movements in nature, from fish to mammals, demonstrate this fundamental law. And she reveals how spirals and tubular structures underlie human form, motion, and the natural intelligence of our bodies.

This conversation invites you to reimagine anatomy as a living architecture — not a fixed system of parts, but a dynamic relationship of motion, matter, and meaning. Perfect for movement professionals, manual therapists, and fascia enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding of human movement.

In this episode:

• Evolution of Motion: From Sea to Land
• The hidden role of spirals in the body
• Why fascia is the true connector of structure and function
• The importance of 'dynamic instability'
• Movement, flow, and somatic intelligence in practice

Time isn’t just something we measure — it’s something we feel.

In this episode, Joanne Avison explores how the Law of Three reveals deeper layers of time, fascia, and awareness. Moving beyond linear thinking, she reflects on how the body experiences past, present, and “pre-sent” time through the fascia — the connective tissue that unites structure, sensation, and consciousness.
Through her signature fascia-informed perspective, Joanne invites you to explore how presence, patience, and embodied awareness open a gateway to spiritual insight and healing. It’s a journey through the science and soul of time — and how the body itself holds ancient wisdom.

In this episode:
Understanding the Law of Three through fascia and time
How the body remembers and reshapes past experience
Fascia as the living bridge between matter and awareness
The role of mindfulness and somatic therapy in healing
Embodied awareness and the mystery of “pre-sense”
Awakening presence through spiritual embodiment
