2026/10/02

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...

The Woman Who Changed How I Think About the Body

The Joanne Avison Podcast ·

2026/09/25

What if the body is doing far more than simply carrying us through the world? Following last week’s exploration of Vanda Scaravelli and learning to listen to the body, Joanne turns to another woman whose work profoundly shaped her thinking: Mabel Elsworth Todd, author of the pioneering The Thinking Body. Todd was writing about the relationship between thought, feeling, posture and movement as early as the 1930s. She recognised that our emotional lives are expressed through the whole body, and...

What happens when we stop telling the body what to do, and start listening to what it already knows? More than 30 years ago, Vanda Scaravelli’s Awakening the Spine began a journey for Joanne that would profoundly change the way she understood yoga, movement and her own body. In this episode, Joanne reflects on what Vanda taught her about gravity, the spine, proprioception and the intelligence within our movement — including the unforgettable moment her own body showed her what Vanda called ...

Why I Stopped Saying “Feet Hip-Width Apart”

The Joanne Avison Podcast ·

2026/09/04

What if the way we’ve been taught to stand is getting in the way of how we’re designed to move? After the extraordinary response to last week’s personal episode, Joanne continues the conversation with something wonderfully practical - beginning with a sentence she used herself for decades: “Stand with your feet hip-width apart.” So why doesn’t she say it anymore? This episode is an invitation to look a little differently at the remarkable body you inhabit: one designed to wobble, recoil, adap...

What if tensegrity isn't simply a theory, but something already at work inside every living cell? In this episode of Sacred Geometry, Joanne Avison explores the groundbreaking work of Donald Ingber, the Harvard scientist whose research brought tensegrity into the laboratory and helped establish the field of mechanobiology. Following the thread from Leonardo da Vinci, Kenneth Snelson, Buckminster Fuller and Tom Flemons, we arrive at the living cell itself, where Ingber demonstrates how tension...

What if the model we've used to explain the human body could never stand up on its own? In this episode of Sacred Geometry, Joanne explores the remarkable work of Tom Flemons, whose human tensegrity models challenged centuries of conventional biomechanics. Inspired by Kenneth Snelson and Buckminster Fuller, Flemons spent decades building physical demonstrations of the body's living architecture, revealing a model based on continuity rather than isolated parts. You'll discover: Why a classroom...

What happens when someone gives a name to something that has always existed? Buckminster Fuller didn't invent tensegrity, but by naming it, he gave the world a new way of seeing. In this episode of the Sacred Geometry series, Joanne explores how Fuller's remarkable work connected architecture, engineering, biology and the living human body through one universal principle… From geodesic domes and “Spaceship Earth” to carbon molecules, fascia and human movement, this episode reveals why Fuller'...

What did Leonardo da Vinci see that the rest of the world missed? In the second episode of this new Sacred Geometry series, Joanne explores the extraordinary quality of attention that allowed Leonardo da Vinci to perceive the human body in a way that science would not begin to explain for another 500 years.
