Welcome back! Today we are joined by Bonnie Crotzer, dancer, body worker, and co-founder of Ghost Flower Activewear. In this episode, Bonnie is teaching us all about fascia and the integrative stretching technique she practices: fascia flossing. Fascia flossing is both a workout and a recovery practice that focuses on engaging and contracting your muscles with active movement. Bonnie shares her journey of learning about the body through dance, yoga, and eventually this technique she first learned from her former teacher Bob Cooley who is internationally known as an expert on bio-mechanical flexibility and strength. 

Bonnie tells us how she began practicing fascia flossing and how she uses it as a tool to help people feel good in their bodies. We also hear about how she co-founded activewear line, Ghost Flower, and how her fascia flossing technique ties in with Chinese Medicine. Fascia flossing aims to elongate your tissue to impact not just your physical performance, but your overall health. In Bonnie's practice she has seen people undergo significant changes physically, but also emotionally by releasing memories, blocks, and traumas that are stored in the body.
