Beyond Anatomy: The Living Language of Fascia
Fascia is more than tissue—it's a living matrix of connection and communication throughout your entire body. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, anatomy geek, or lifelong mover, this course will shift how you see the body—and how you teach from it.
"Anatomy teaches us the postcodes—but fascia shows us the whole landscape."
In this transformative course, Brea Johnson (Heart + Bones Yoga) and fascia expert Joanne Avison invite you into a new way of understanding anatomy—one that is intelligent, alive, intuitive, and deeply connected to how we move, teach, and live.
Through rich conversation, embodied insight, and grounded wisdom, Joanne and Brea guide you into the profound relationship between the heart, fascia, and the bones of our being—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
- We move beyond the textbook to reclaim anatomy as experiential and alive.
- Bridging science with soul, intellect with intuition, this course honours the mystery and magic of our self-organizing bodies and invites you into a new paradigm of movement, teaching, and embodiment.
- You’ll explore how embryology, fascia, and yoga interweave to awaken a deeper trust in your body’s knowing—supporting you as both practitioner and teacher.
This course combines a powerful combination of deep and insightful conversations with movement practices designed to anchor and embody what you learn.
Expect aha moments, unlearning, reconnection, and a felt sense of coming home to yourself.
What You’ll Learn
Don't expect a textbook, dry lectures, memorizing muscle names or dissecting fascia layer by layer. You won't be learning about fascia as a structure, but instead expanding into fascia as a story, as sensation. An experience of the wonder of being a body, not just having one.
- How fascia shapes and supports every aspect of your movement and being. How fascia can be the lens through which we explore embodiment, connection and the poetry of being alive.
- Why the heart is the first to form—and what that means for embodiment
- The limitations of traditional biomechanics and how a fascia-informed approach expands your experience of your body and self.
- The forgotten wisdom of embryology and self-organization
- Movement practices to ground, embody and enhance your experience of fascia
What’s Included
- Engaging lectures from Brea + Joanne that blend science, philosophy, and practical insight. 3 lessons, each lesson between 30-40 minutes.
- 4 embodied movement practices with Brea to integrate what you learn in the course. These practices are dynamic, supportive and creative ways of moving and feeling your fascia. Especially helpful if you're a yoga or movement teacher looking for ways to incorporate fascia-focused movements into your teaching and practice.
- Lifetime access. You get to keep the course and return to the lessons and classes as often as you like. This is one of those courses that, each time you return to it you gain deeper insight.
This Course Is For You If:
- You want to move beyond rigid, mechanical anatomy and want something more holistic and alive
- You’re a yoga teacher or movement guide wanting to teach with more clarity, depth, and resonance
- You’re curious about fascia, but not sure how to bring it into your classes
- You want to reconnect to the why behind your practice—and the wisdom of your own body
This is not your average anatomy course.
It’s a return to what you already know, deep down in your bones.
