Everything is Connected: Fascia and the Koshas

The Fascial System and the Kosha Model

The fascial system and the kosha model overlap in several ways. Both describe the multidimensionality of the human experience. Both are composed of different densities or “layers” that are interpenetrating, interconnected and interrelated. What happens on one layer affects the rest.  

Fascia has been described as the fabric of wholeness and the medium through which body and spirit communicate. Experiential anatomy practices that explore fascia can promote a felt sense of wholeness and connection that resonates on all koshic levels. Likewise, as we clarify and balance the koshas, we remember our wholeness and express it in our daily life. 

In this workshop we will explore the fascial system from the kosha perspective. 

What will we learn?

• An overview of the structure, properties and functions of fascia and how fascial densification contributes to dysfunction on all koshic levels. 
• About the fascial system as the largest and richest sensory organ that contributes to creating emotions. 
• To deepen sense of self by stimulating interoceptive nerve endings in fascia. 
• How sensing the fascial matrix can expand your felt sense of wholeness and connection. 
• Experiential anatomy practices to develop a felt sense of your own fascial system and repattern healthy, elastic fascia. 

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop will appeal to yoga teachers, therapists, students as well as teachers of other disciplines wanting to learn about the transformational potential of fascial awareness.
