The Ties that Bind!

Let’s talk about fascia. An amazing three dimensional web that both gives us freedom and stability at the same time. It’s helpful to think about an orange when trying to understand the anatomy of fascia. The pith under the rind is the first outer layer, the next layer being the wrapping around each wedge, and the inner-most layer wrapping each little juicy pouch making up the orange wedge. This is how interwoven the fascial system is in human bodies as well. Nature reveals such a strong connection between itself and the human body. What a wonderful tool we have, being able to look out into the world to better understand our inner workings.

My hope is that this page and this community will be like our intricate, beautiful fascial system. A system created to keep us connected, within the framework of movement and freedom. The sure and stable floor under the spiraling, bounding dancer.
