Wow 🤩

April fool! This ‘snail shell’ isn’t quite what it seems… When is a snail not a snail? What if it’s something totally, completely different? This mollusc-like shell was described as a new species of trochid in 1903, but in fact it comes from an enti…

3 Days of Yoga in the Scottish Borders - Don't miss the Early Bird discount ending March 31st! https://bit.ly/HydroYoga3Day

Excited for this!

We're excited to announce the first of our line up of fantastic speakers at this year's British Fascia Symposium.

Dr Karen Kirkness (Spiral Syllabus) is a committed movement educator passionate about facilitating healthy outcomes through guided self-practice with a focus on constraints-led spiral motion. Her work as a movement researcher in the Spiral Syllabus looks at rotational biomechanics in terms of the Five Filaments, the spiral motion rubric that Dr. Kirkness coined in her book, Spiral Bound: Integrated Anatomy for Yoga.

She will be hosting a lecture on Bilateral Twist: Experiencing Asymmetric Anatomy - this presentation will explore the old in order to see the new view of human anatomy as a twisting somatic journey. It will illustrate the Axial Twist Theory and demonstrate how the fascial tissue continuum encompasses innervation.

Join Dr Karen Kirkness and many other expert speakers by joining us for this two-day, online event. To find out more, and take advantage of our Early Bird tickets, please visit https://bit.ly/TFH-BFS24.

Excited to join the panel of speakers at the British Fascia Symposium (BFS) this summer!

Fascinating research on the spiral-like patterns in the brain! Looking forward to drawing the embryonic process of brain development with The Fascia Hub community in November...

Interacting spiral wave patterns underlie complex brain dynamics and are related to cognitive processing - Nature Human Behaviour Using concepts mostly familiar to fluid physicists, the authors manage to elegantly tackle the complex problem of describing large-scale brain activity patterns, providing a rich foundation for the future study of their relevance and functional importance.

Updating your bio - normally a punishment for me - can actually be a useful way of reiterating priorities and getting fresh with reality. I rewrote mine this week in the realization of how much parenting has come to define my offering. What's your bio?

Week Two of development - the week of twos and in many ways my fave plot twists in the embryonic journey - the bilaminar disc, the forking trophoblast, the sacs!!! Super excited to start teaching embryology again next week at HYMS but I cannot find my whiteboard anywhere after we moved house 🙈

"A father with Down syndrome who worked in a factory for 25 years, raised his son to become a doctor and a beautiful human being.
Sader Issa, who studied dentistry in Syria, became a Down syndrome advocate, and shares his story of how he was raised by his father Jad.
According to Sader, his dad showered him with love and did the best that he could to make his childhood the same as any kids. Sader explained how his father is selfless and a real pillar of the community." ❤️❤️❤️

You’ve come a long way, baby!

Stunning coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an eight week old human foetus.

The foetus' eye, nose and hands are visible. The eighth week of pregnancy represents the end of the formative developmental stage, and the embryo becomes a foetus.

All major organ systems are formed by the eighth week, but require much growth since the foetus is only about 3 centimetres in crown-rump length.
