The Joanne Avison Podcast
The Joanne Avison Podcast is a journey into Spiritual Science, examining the sacred geometry of human form and motion and how the Fascia Matrix changes all we thought we knew about human bodies. Reflecting on her rich experience as a movement and manual therapy practitioner, Certified Archetypal Consultant, ordained minister and Doctor of Spiritual Science; Joanne challenges our assumptions of human anatomy, and asks us to consider the "Humans Being" as intimately relating "soma to soul" such that they can't really be useful separated. Joanne animates the true meaning of practical spirituality and the patterns of (our) body and being as one!! Told through artful storytelling and conversations with scientists, researchers, teachers, clients and curious fellow beings; this podcast will spark your curiosity of humans “being in bodies”, and inspire your life-long inquiry into who you really are.

Release In Action: From Tension and Compensation to Ease
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if “release” isn’t about relaxing or stretching, but letting go of the patterns that hold you back?
In this episode, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore Release as the next step in their fascia-focused approach to movement. This is part of a mini-series on the Five R’s, and includes exclusive video demonstrations from inside their practitioner training, so you can see how this work is applied in real time. So you may prefer to hop on over to the Joanne Avison YouTube channel to watch this one 📺 (Although if you'd prefer to listen you'll still get plenty of goodness here.)
Rather than forcing the body to relax or stretching out discomfort, this episode shows how true release comes from recognising and interrupting suboptimal movement patterns, allowing the intelligent body to reorganise itself naturally…
You’ll learn:
- Why “myofascial release” is often misunderstood
- How tension and compensation patterns develop
- Why forcing release can make things worse
- How subtle, precise movement restores ease and resilience
