Major new book announcement...
We are thrilled to announce the publication of MYOFASCIAL INDUCTION™ - An anatomical approach to the treatment of fascial dysfunction - Volume 1: The Upper Body by internationally acclaimed physical therapist and fascia expert, Andrzej Pilat (Inducción Miofascial - Tupimek)
Take a tour of this incredible volume in this short video.
This keenly anticipated resource reveals fascial architecture in all its glory and sets out the principles and practice of Myofascial Induction™ (MIT™). The author's teaching and practice provide the material that explains and illustrates fascial anatomy and therapeutic procedures.
Over 700 beautiful full color photographs and videos of dissections of non-embalmed cadavers show the continuity of the fascial system and its dynamic links to other body systems, allowing the practitioner to see and appreciate the effect of manual interventions on underlying body structures.
Key Features of Myofascial Induction™, Volume 1 - The Upper Body include:
👉 A beautifully designed and produced hardback book - 620 pages - supported with over 700 full color clinical images and videos that illuminate the theory and practice of MIT™
👉 Describes the properties of the fascial network and provides therapeutic solutions for different types of fascial dysfunction
👉 Focuses on the therapeutic procedures of MIT™ for the upper body, explaining clearly how to apply the procedures in practice
👉 Helps the therapist to understand better the kinesis of the body, in order that they can improve client outcomes and quality of life

🙏 Newly published, from Dr. Martha Eddy and Prema Soma Healing Arts...
Welcome to 'Dynamic Embodiment of the Sun Salutation (SM): Pathways to Balancing the Chakras and the Neuroendocrine System' - a highly illustrated and very readable guide to doing the Sun Salutation with more ease by integrating awareness of glandular and chakral embodiment cues and neuro-developmental movement.
What does this book offer you, as a yoga, somatic movement, dance or other movement professional or teacher?
⠀⠀
👉 By working with the endocrine system and their correlations with the chakras we are grounding the subtle within the physical body. Learn about the dynamic combination of the specific electrical and systemic circulatory nature of the neuroendocrine system. Discover how the anatomical placement of the glands and the spatial tensions (or tensegrity) surrounding them are the natural bridge to activating the energy needed for a fulfilling life.
👉 Everything in this book can be applied to your personal practice and overall health, or to teaching others. It offers a soft, organic yet powerful approach to being in the poses and transitioning between them. What you will learn is effective and surprising. There is tangible mystery in accessing this ability, which we all have, to embody the endocrine system and the related energy fields.⠀
⠀
👉 In an age when, most likely, at least one person you know is struggling with thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive glandular imbalance, this book will provide information on the physical, emotional and spiritual impact of attuning with the glands and early childhood development imprints while practising the Sun Salutation. It includes clues for what to do when yoga or endocrine work brings on chaos – from trauma triggers, kundalini overwhelm, to basic life confusion. It gives you the tools to help ground yourself and others, and to take centered action in a dynamic world.⠀

In Karen's own words... 'I put my heart and soul and then some into this book, and my message to you through this work: anatomy is accessible. Anatomy is actually a living science that emerges through each of us, and our bodies are interconnected with nature through the filamentous structure. In time, we can learn to tap into that inner wisdom so that, with practice, we may reinforce the directives of nature that originally shape our body plans. This book brings together basic embryology with kinesiology to offer a practical movement guide called the Five Filaments. I'm talking about spirals that flow within organismic constraints - how our human bodies form in development shapes the way we move as adults.'

We are thrilled to announce imminent publication of the second edition of Joanne Avison's enthralling book for yoga therapists and other bodywork and movement teachers.
Find full details of 'Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, Second edition' at the product link by clicking the video.
Joanne has poured her knowledge, experience and insight into this expanded and improved new edition. She presents the book partly as an appeal for yoga teachers to appreciate the depth and breadth of yoga as a science, a movement practice and a philosophy that fundamentally espouses 'wholeness' as the basis of living anatomy and form.
The first part of this extraordinary work recognises that the leading edge of fascia science changes reductionist views of anatomy and biomechanics and explores these changes to our understanding, demonstrating how the new science of body architecture makes sense of the yogic philosophy of union and wholeness. The second part takes this paradigm shift and applies it in practice to the subtle understanding of the fascial architecture and how that architecture helps us move better.
Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement, Second edition attempts to ask questions, share relevant research and make all this knowledge and understanding practical and applicable to teachers and practitioners of a variety of movement and bodywork specialisms, including yoga.
‘From Anatomy to Architecture, from Biomechanical to Biomotional and from Classical to Connected’ – Avison’s work speaks to all bodies, in all modalities; in a world seeking unity and connection more than ever. 🙏

Therapeutic Thai massage and bodywork is a rich and diverse modality, so much more than the stretching and deep tissue work for which it is known.
Written by the UK’s leading teacher and practitioner Natasha de Grunwald - Thai yoga massage, the London Institute - a pioneer of Thai massage and bodywork for 30 years, 'Thai Massage Dissected' is a practical resource for massage therapists, yoga teachers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and all manual therapists who want to expand their therapeutic approach and are curious to learn about the body from a Thai anatomy and dissection perspective.
Natasha discusses the modality's roots in Buddhist medicine, the five element system, the use of therapeutic herbs, and Thai anatomy. She also considers concepts such as proprioception and interoception.
She provides a beautifully illustrated and intelligently curated combination of tools, techniques and protocols that will enhance all practitioners’ skill sets.
Due for publication early May. Available in the USA early June!
