Description

Fascia has become one of the most talked-about words in modern movement, yoga, and bodywork — and also one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, I gently strip fascia back to what it actually is… and what it definitely isn’t.

We’ll explore fascia not as a trendy buzzword or a mysterious “thing you stretch,” but as a living, intelligent connective tissue system that responds to time, load, hydration, sensation, and nervous system input.

You’ll learn:

• What fascia really is, structurally and functionally
• Why fascia doesn’t behave like muscle — and why treating it like muscle often backfires
• Common myths about fascia release, rolling, and “breaking things up”
• How fascia adapts slowly, intelligently, and with memory
• Why gentleness, duration, and awareness matter more than force

This episode is especially for anyone who:

• Feels stiff despite stretching regularly
• Has tried foam rolling or strong techniques with mixed results
• Practices Yin Yoga and wants to understand why it works
• Is curious about pain, restriction, or long-held tension in the body

Nothing technical for the sake of it. No forceful fixes. Just a clearer, calmer understanding of the tissue that quite literally holds us together.

If you’ve ever wondered why slowing down can create deeper change than pushing harder — this episode is for you.

Part of the YinWave audio series — where sound, stillness, and fascia meet.
