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.

Ida Rolf, Intuition and the Courage to Break the Rules
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when everything you’ve been taught tells you to go one way, but the body asks you to go another?
In this episode, Joanne reflects on Dr. Ida P. Rolf, the pioneering biochemist whose work creating Structural Integration profoundly influenced the way we understand fascia, bodywork and the organisation of the living body.
Joanne shares her own journey through Structural Integration, from training and teaching alongside the development of Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains, to an experience with a client that challenged one of the fundamental rules she had been taught. What followed was an extraordinary dream about Dr. Rolf herself, and a message Joanne has carried with her ever since: “Follow the yoga. Go deep. Follow your intuition.”
Along the way, Joanne explores Rolfing, fascia, alignment and the famous Rolfing line, and considers what it really means to help another person find their own balance, poise and embodied wisdom.
It’s also a reflection on teachers and traditions: how we can honour the people who came before us while continuing to question, explore and allowing their work to evolve.
