Is there such a thing as Geo-fascia? This started off as a joke at a conference but eventually led to a new understanding of how gravity interacts with the fascial system of the body. It opened up a whole new way of talking about Core Postural Alignment.
We were asked about it on a recent Question and Answer call and thought you might be interested to hear our take on this fascinating topic.

Using Newton’s third law of motion we explain what is happening when gravity is balance by the ground reaction force, giving us ease and poise and grace.
