Our Bodies Our Selves

I first heard of the Bodies exhibition on the yoga teacher training course I did last year.

"It's all about the FASCIA!" said Jo, our anatomy teacher. She fed us an orange and told us to pull out the vein-y bits. "That's like FASCIA!"

She raved about the Bodies exhibit, because you could see all the FASCIA. Ever since I've wanted to see it. Those classes left me yearning for some actual information about the physical structure body, beyond FASCIA. It's been in town since last summer, but I just never got around to it.

Lo and behold, into Jivamukti walks Michelle, a woman I took the teacher training course with.

Beautiful.

We see the show.

The interesting thing about fascia, according to Jo, is that it weaves throughout the body, but also extends beyond so as to interconnect you with all things and people around you. This is why we feel fear or are attracted to someone. FASCIA.



According to this theory, then, I should not have been at all surprised to see this:



I worked on the promotional campaign for this product last December. They talked about doing this kiosk, and we convinced them there was not enough news to make this a newsworthy event.

Michelle and I go in, natch, we get a hand massage, smell the chocolate fountain--all too weird--when suddenly this woman jumps into a kind of warrior pose and yells at us, "Wanna do yoga?"

Our answer was an emphatic no, agreeing in no doubt thanks to our telekinetic FASCIA connection. Rock on BODIES. Just not in crap yoga.
