Talked about this in my classes last week. So cool to see this image.

Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope this beautiful specimen of the fascial continuity of the pericardium and respiratory diaphragm will inspire you today. Imagine how the pericardium and heart are gently stretched and released with every inhalation and exhalation!



This plastinate beautifully reveals the intimate connection of the respiratory diaphragm and the heart through their fasciae. The fascial covering of the heart, the pericardium, seen at the top and center, is completely continuous with the fascia of the diaphragm below. This kind of fascial relationship is often omitted in illustrations which highlight the muscles and organs without their related connective tissue. In this specimen, instead of removing the pericardium to show the heart, we carefully pried away the heart from its protective sleeve, leaving behind an empty pericardial sack and attached diaphragm.

Focusing on the connections of things instead of only the separateness, adds a missing piece to our thinking and to how we conceptualize the human body. Demonstrating this remarkable fascial relationship through plastination is an excellent tool for fascial anatomy education of the deep structures of the torso.

I'm thrilled to be embarking on my 26th year of teaching yoga, and still at the Findlay Community Centre where I got my start.

I love meeting the diversity of folks who come to the Findlay Centre for yoga, whether trying it for the first time, returning after an absence from practice, or continuing over many years.

I love hearing how yoga has benefitted them, and especially how the approach I offer, blending mindful movement with active and restorative yoga practices, makes them feel so good.

Come discover how integrating new scientific understandings of stretching, and wisdom from somatic movement education, with the heart of Yoga can benefit you and your yoga practice.

Shanti, Peace,
Linda

Spring Session Starts Monday, April 15th! *see pinned post for more information on classes*

This session we will explore the chakras in our yoga practices, bringing fresh perspectives to the familiar, as well as discovering new possibilities and experiences. The chakras are energy centres that correspond with physical areas of the body, and especially with the spine. Each week will introduce a new chakra through the practice of asana (poses) pranayama (breath) mudras (hand gestures) and more, while building on what came before.
