What is the most important movement of the body? Hands down, it is the breath, notes renowned Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers in this Sneak Peek video from his new online course. Curious to learn why? Click below to watch the video!
Recent advances in fascia research have revolutionized our understanding of how the body ages and what we can do to maintain flexibility and mobility throughout life.
Far from being merely passive wrapping material, fascia is now recognized as a dynamic, body-wide network that plays a crucial role in everything from movement and stability to cellular communication and healthy aging.
Research has shown that the gradual stiffening and loss of mobility many experience after age 50 is largely due to changes in the fascial system - our body's vast network of connective tissue.
These changes include decreased hydration, reduced elasticity, and increased adhesions between fascial layers. However, new research also reveals that these changes are not inevitable.
With the right approach to movement and body maintenance, we can significantly slow or even reverse many age-related changes in the fascia.
How? In our new course on Keys to Enhancing Fascial Fitness for Greater Flexibility and Mobility you will have the opportunity to study the key principles of keeping the fascia supple and resilient with Tom Myers and Dr. Robert Schleip, leading experts in the field of fascia research and movement science.
Learn evidence-based strategies for keeping your fascial system supple, hydrated and resilient - essential keys to maintaining freedom of movement and physical autonomy throughout life.
Whether you're a yoga teacher looking to better serve your aging students or a practitioner seeking to optimize your own aging trajectory, this course offers cutting-edge insights and practical tools for enhancing fascial fitness at any age.
Best of all, you can study in the comfort of your own home, AND, you'll be able to access the course and course bonuses for as long as you like. You get lifetime access!

Building Interoception
Connect in a New Way with Your Body
The body has much to tell us, but often we need to learn ways to listen. Myofascial release techniques sharpen one of our senses that is often called the sixth sense: interoception, the ability to recognize sensations and signals from inside the body.
As part of Track 3, study live online with Ellen Saltonstall and learn how to integrate Yoga and Myofascial Release methods into your yoga practice and teaching.
Our all-pervasive fascial web functions as support, as force transfer, and as sensory feedback throughout the entire body. But it can significantly restrict our movement if it is chronically tight. Myofascial release techniques take advantage of the rich nerve supply within the fascia; by applying specifically targeted pressure to the fascia, the body and mind release tension and movement becomes easier and more enjoyable.
Using simple tools like rubber balls, learn how to explore tension patterns and gain greater flexibility to chronic aches or movement restrictions in your body that persist even with a good yoga practice.

Charting the Myofascial Lines in Yoga:
Bodyreading Skills for Yoga Teachers and Practitioners
Join Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains, for an online course that will give you new insights into the interconnectedness of the body as it relates to your yoga practice.
While traditional anatomy is static, the Anatomy Trains model shows you the body as an interconnected whole in which movement patterns are transmitted seamlessly through the bodywide fascial fabric
The Anatomy Trains model offers a unique map of this ‘anatomy of connection,’ which focuses on whole-body fascial and myofascial linkages rather than individual muscles and bones.
With Tom as guide, this course offers an opportunity to develop your body reading skills and learn how alignment in different yoga postures are affected by the different fascial meridian lines.
Understanding the ‘Superficial Back Line,’ for example, gives insights into hamstring problems that one cannot get from considering hamstrings alone.
Similarly, the ‘Spiral Line’ shows how to resolve rotational compensations in a way that no analysis of any single muscle can give.
Whatever your movement modality – yoga, yoga therapy, Pilates, or personal training, this Early Bird Bonus course offers skills to help you observe the roots of movement limitations and structural compensations more effectively in your own yoga practice or that of clients and yoga students.

The program that YogaU developed with Tom Myers is exceptional, and I am grateful that the access to this material is unending. Since the program released, I have gone back to rewatch many of the videos, and content continues to add to my skills and understanding. Starting next week my daily commute increases significantly, so I went back to download the PDFs to reference and the audio files to listen to while I am on the road.
Please let all that care at YogaU that you offer an exceptional resource to the yoga community, and I love being able to access your content, ESPECIALLY this program with Tom.
