Our skin is our body’s wrapper, but it doesn’t hold everything together. We need another layer called the fascia. It is a sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles, organs, and other soft structures of the body. Thank you dictionary.com. It not only gives us structural support, but provides protection and gives structure to the body.
Rageddy Ann wouldn’t be half so floppy if she had fascia. Syl Carson of www.gobodhiyoga.com tells us, “I personally consider the fascia to be the net of emotion, meridian highway and the literal “child inside”. It stores our memory and holds our potential for movement through our Mind, Body, Spirit evolution.” Since the meaning of YOGA is to yoke body, mind and spirit, we can be very grateful that fascia makes that possible in the first place.
