The Knowbodies

It’s our season finale and we had a delightful conversation with the one and only Tom Myers. He shares how he came to find this work, about his journey as a teacher and practitioner and where the future of fascial work and research is headed. He’s one of a kind and we are so grateful for his work and that we got to spend so much time with him over the past year. Also - introducing our new podcast theme song and sound editing by the fabulous Tara McLeod. Grateful for talented and knowledgeable people in our lives! Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We're talking last day of school. We've enjoyed the journey and we're reflecting on our final session experience and how we're feeling. We're so grateful to put a bow on it and watch each other fly. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We are talking with Penny. She has been our model throughout this 12 series training. She received the series from our teacher and mentor Tom Myers. We are inquiring about her experience and she is spilling the tea. She is a lovely human and was a wonderful person to experience this journey with. We are grateful to now call her friend and fellow queen on this attunement journey called life. Please enjoy our first intro, composed by Penny on her ukulele. You will get to enjoy our intro we are working on for season 2 very soon, taps fingers together with excitement. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We be casting from the car. It's probably a little noisy, it's a bit chaotic, but we hear sharing about session 11, the arm lines. Bringing the arms back into connection with the body, freeing them from the rib cage, whatever it is they need. We're here for it. We will be profeshing it up in season 2, so enjoy the last little bit of low key drama from the sound perspective, haha!Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We're talking... And... Singing.. yes singing, about a whole new core. About a new vernacular, the ATSI language that we've been spouting since episode 1. We're inviting you to get to know yourself through this new and innovative lens. We're inviting you into the attunement club. There are many paths to get to said club, but we're steeped in and looking through this ATSI lens currently. We're excited you're here. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We're talking session 9 of the 12 series. We're talking the beginning of the end. We're talking the start of the integration sessions. We are bringing our clients and ourselves fascially into function. We're assessing your gait (the way you walk), and we're helping all of the lines operate harmoniously. We're working all the lines from the foot to your TL Junction (where your lower and middle back meet). Join us!Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We're doing some real talk. We're visiting our practically imperfectness in every way. We're visiting a few of the non-negotiable, self reflections, constructive feedback and how those impact a growth mindset. Close interpersonal relationships are the hardest ones to grow and maintain. If both people are truly committed to growth and have the space, hard conversations can create more depth and closeness. What a day for real talk to be the theme. Have those hard convos, don't leave things unsaid. They create compression, bitterness, disease and unease. We believe in you. You can do hard things, so can we. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We're talking our current list of non-negotiables. We're doing a long pod on the practices that help us live in a state of attunement. We hope you'll let us know what your practices are and maybe try on a few of these for size. Muah!*Correction for all my yoga folks, svadyaya is a niyama, not a yama 😉.Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

We are so happy to participate deeply in life wherever we are. We collect community regardless of location and it enhances our life and experience. We share about our experience teaching a warmup for a class @theweckmethod in San Diego. We were invited by Andrew Martinez and got to share about fascial work and movement with his students. We share about range of movement and breath and lots of other goodies.

This episode explores the why behind the length of time required for this immersion training. While many of us in the training are seasoned bodyworkers, this lens we are learning to look through is quite different than what we've previously been taught. We are thinking about the body as a series of relationships. We are pondering the bodies amazing alternation between rotational and hinge joints, we are learning to read gait patterns and to see into the body without an x-ray machine. We also share our gratitude for our teachers and mentors throughout this process. Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains has a storied career and has been a most patient, excellent and generous teacher throughout this process. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

This episode explores the lateral line in more depth, check out our most recent instagram reel or catch it on YouTube to see some techniques that correspond with the lateral line of fascia! We talk about being crunched on one side, and how our bodies joints being compressed on one side is like an asymmetrical bob, always a questionable situation. It really works for some, but not for most.Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

Exploring the weekend, aka beaches for bitches, and the lateral (side of your body) line. Our work is cut out for us as we approach the coronal plane, side to side differences. A little more info on body reading, the piece of this work that helps us strategize in order to deliver the most individualized session possible, which is why we do it! Last but not least, a sneak peak into the spiral line, the last of the superficial fascial sessions before we careen into the deep core.Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

Listen in as we share about what went down on Friday of week 1 of our training. We were tested in more ways than one.

We are diving back in to school. This is term 3 part 1 of a 500 hour immersion program. We are focused on our body's fascial system and the role it plays in our movement, our emotional wellbeing, our potential and our lives. We are giving and receiving bodywork throughout this process and it stirs up a lot of silt and fodder to discuss. We are here for it, hope you are, too. Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl

Hiiiiiii! We are Tiff and Rach, and we are the Knowbodies. We are suchly named because we are a couple of nobodies out here in these streets trying to spread the word about body attunement. We want you to know yourself, we want you to pay attention. We want you to know what you need and when you need it, and you can! These first episodes are a journey with us through a bodywork technique class where we are learning lots about the fascial system, or as our mentor Tom Myers calls it, the "Bars" the biomechanical auto regulation system. We will be sharing our journey through our Anatomy Trains Structural Integration school. After we complete this journey, we will be sharing our stories, experiences, and inviting guests to join us in our conversation. We want you to experience the joy and ease that attunement can bring into your life and world: physically, emotionally, mentally and beyond!Check out our fascial mobility videos and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration Technique videos on YouTube! https://youtube.com/@knowbodiespodcast?si=IgwYuKPFVlMRL8fl
