In this conversation, Jules Febre meets with Lauri Nemetz to discuss the myofascial system, its significance in movement and yoga, and the evolving understanding of fascia. The dialogue explores the importance of visual comprehension in anatomy education, the role of breath in movement, and how dissection labs can transform perspectives on the body. Lauri emphasizes the interconnectedness of body systems and the practical applications of understanding fascia for yoga practitioners and teachers.
