Release Your Fascia to Improve Your Yoga – Free Ebook
What we’ve been taught about anatomy in school and in textbooks
is not necessarily wrong, but is only part of the picture.
The word anatomy itself stems from the Greek word anatemnō meaning
to “cut up” or to “cut open” and traditionally anatomy has been
taught in a microscopic fashion.
In order to understand the body as a whole we need to include the examination of the most
prevalent tissue in our body – our fascia. Our body is in fact a highly
organized web of interconnected fascia.
Traditionally fascia has been considered just the ‘glad-wrap’ around our muscles when
in reality it is so much more – fascia forms the biological container
and connector for every organ in our body (Myers, 2011).
