Recently someone asked me if Biomotional and Biomechanical are synonymous? In this episode I consider the two, coming from the fact that movement is not an intellectual process!! In my world we are not biomechanical at all ever...so sticking "bio" infront of a word and describing different hinges and levers to justify using "levers" as synonyms for…

When we win a medal or lose a loved one, we can think of it as an event - whether it is positive and desirable, or negative and undesirable. It is an event; a something that "happened to us" that leaves us delighted or depleted (in a "state"); whether it is grief or euphoria. In truth, in our living experience, it might be more like a process than …

After lots of feedback about Fascia and chocolate (and books) last week, this episode continues the theme in a slightly different way.

I think we are in a para…

The issue reveals itself as the “one li…

In this episode I ask if fascia can be considered the Neutral Servant of the body - and the being? I share some of my thoughts about what fascia is, or at least, why it is so difficult to define. I quote some thoughts from John Godman and Andrew Taylor Still that show it is a question that has been asked for hundreds of years. Perhaps it is suppose…

We are all biomotional creatures - as a distinction that offers us the roundness, the spirality, the chirality and the charism of our natural movements. Biomotional and biomotion are distinct from Biomchanics and Biomechanical; which are the terms we have inherited - and invested in - in the scholarly study of human movement. It is not that one is …

In this episode I share some snail stories that have inspired me deeply. I think may be we are in a very, very slow pursuit of a new art.

Fascia and water play supremely significant roles in removing pain and improving performance. They work together in very specific ways. Fascia has many different expressions in the human body and water (which is mostly what we are made of) does too - of a particular kind. That is "bound water" - bound by fascia and (in a way) bound as fascia. It is…

What is tree school? Well, it turns out there is such a thing - it's just that trees don't speak "English" or "Spanish" or any of our mother tongues - any more than our own bodies do!
