FAMO is FAscia MOvement.   

 

Fascia is the fibrous connective tissue that connects everything with everything in our bodies, it is also closely linked to our autonomic nervous system. The benefits of a fascia focussed practice is profound and supports both body and mind vitality. 

 

Instead of thinking of individual muscles, visualise long fascial continuities (slings) that connect several muscles in series. In his book, Anatomy Trains, a body map for movement teachers and manual therapists, Thomas Myers calls it myofascial meridians. These 'slings' connects the body, balances posture, modulates movement, and influences our perception. 

​

FAMO Fascia Movement is a fascia-focussed body-minded movement concept. This mat-based training can be enhanced and adapted with massage balls or other small supportive props. 

​

The concept was developed by Karin Gurtner co-founder of the art of motion Academy. It is based on the latest findings in research supporting the body-wide interconnectedness of muscles and fascia.

​

During a FAMO practice we utilise the Anatomy Trains body map to enhance structural integrity and movement functionality.

All my classes are infused with FAMO Fascia Movement. I also offer a FAMO for Movement Teachers (and experienced Yoga and Pilates practitioners) visit this link for more info classes
