In this episode I share an exclusive reading from my book Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, and explore the origins of archetypal geometries, the Law of Three and the emergence of zero. These big ideas sit at the heart of sacred geometry and the symbolic designs that influence how we understand the body, consciousness and our place within a greater pattern.

We look at ancient numerals, the monad, the sacred circle and the way geometry becomes a language of meaning. These symbols are so much more than abstract concepts. They shape how we sense ourselves, how we move and how we recognise the continuity that runs through our fascia and our lived experience... Sacred patterns, spiritual archetypes and the designs found throughout nature have always been part of the body’s story.

In this week’s conversation, Paul and Joanne explore the interstitium, the in-between tissue that shapes how the body moves, adapts and finds flow. Understanding this living network changes the way we think about fascia, movement, biomechanics and the subtle intelligence within the body.

They also share a highly useful case study from their teaching practice, offering a clear look at how a young dancer unlocked new freedom in her spine through micro movement medicine. This example will be especially helpful for movement teachers, yoga and Pilates practitioners, physiotherapists, manual therapists and anyone working with somatic awareness and fascia science.

Micro movement medicine does not replace your current method. It expands it. When we learn to recognise the patterns of rigidity and the fixed-to-flow spectrum, we can guide the body toward ease, adaptability and continuity. Small, thoughtful movements often create the most meaningful global change.

Artificial intelligence and cognitive science meet the living geometry of the human body in this week’s episode. A student from my Arhanta course asked AI about the structure of living cells, fascia and human biomechanics. The answer she received was confident but disconnected from what we see in embodied anatomy. When the question was refined with more clarity, AI offered a completely different explanation.

This conversation is a reminder that deep learning systems only reflect the questions they are given. The living body expresses patterns that machine learning cannot interpret without precision and genuine curiosity. Our fascia, our cellular geometry and our subtle vibratory nature reveal far more than automated logic can reach on its own.

If you are interested in fascia science, somatic intelligence or the deeper architecture of the human body, I hope this brings you closer to your own embodied understanding!

Fascia, Geometry and How We Organise Ourselves

In this episode, Joanne explores how the human body is organised through hierarchy, heterarchy, and holarchy. These three complementary patterns form the deeper architecture of being human. Drawing from her book 'Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement' and Keith Critchlow’s 'The Hidden Geometry of Flowers', she reveals how archetypal geometries and fascia-informed anatomy help us understand ourselves as both individual and interconnected.

Through clear examples such as letters, words, paragraphs, and pages, Joanne shows how each part of us is whole in itself and also part of a larger whole. This is the essence of a holarchy, and it mirrors how fascia, structure, consciousness, and community function.

This episode is an invitation to see yourself not as a mechanical set of parts, but as a living architecture of meaning, pattern, and intelligence.

In this episode:
 • Hierarchy, heterarchy and holarchy explained clearly
 • How the body holds order, pattern and relationship
 • Fascia as an organising and unifying intelligence
 • Archetypal geometries from nature to the human form
 • Keith Critchlow’s wisdom on hidden geometry
 • Why we are each a microcosm of a greater macrocosm
 • How structure and consciousness reflect each other

You are sacred geometry in motion — a living, breathing design of light, sound, and form.

In this episode, Joanne Avison explores how fascia, sacred geometry, and living architecture reveal the deeper design of the human body. Through fascia-informed anatomy and spiritual insight, she shows how our form reflects universal patterns — not as static structures, but as dynamic, intelligent systems of connection and flow.

From embryology to tensegrity, this conversation bridges science and spirit, offering a way to understand your body as both architecture and awareness. You’ll discover why fascia is not just connective tissue, but a conscious interface — a living geometry that shapes how we move, feel, and evolve.

In this episode:

• How sacred geometry expresses through fascia and form
• The body as a living, dynamic architecture
• Fascia as an intelligent, responsive system
• Bridging anatomy, spirituality, and embodied design

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

The human body isn’t mechanical — it’s relational.

This episode explores the Law of Three and how it reveals a hidden harmony between cells, tissues, and the in-between. Drawing from fascia science, biomechanics, and embodied somatics, Joanne explains how the body functions as a living system — where structure, flow, and awareness are constantly communicating.

Through the lens of holistic anatomy and somatic healing, she invites us to look beyond reductionist models of the human body and discover how fascia connects everything: biology, emotion, movement, and consciousness.

In this episode:

• The Law of Three and the architecture of living anatomy
• How fascia bridges biomechanics and embodied somatics
• Micro to macro: understanding relationships between parts and whole
• Fascia as the tissue of relationship, not separation
• The in-between as a living field of communication
• Somatic awareness and self-development through embodiment
