What the fuzz?	Gil Hedley is an anatomy / health educator who has a lot of excellent videos (warning: he works on cadavers to show exactly what is happening). This one in particular is about what happens to your fascia when you don’t stretch.	YouTube Video
Superficial fascia	Another Gil Hedley video that dissects a human body layer by layer, super interesting if you’re interested in what it looks like inside us!	YouTube Video
Harvey Deutch yoga	Harvey Deutch’s yoga classes are so engaging and mindful, unlike any other videos I’ve watched. The classes are on the longer side, but you can do however much you want to do. I love how slow it is, it has really helped me to bring awareness to my nerves and muscles.	YouTube Video
Diaphragmatic breathing	Do you know the correct way of breathing? It's not the "belly breaths" that you may have learned in yoga. Diaphragmatic breathing utilizes your diaphragm, or breathing muscle, ensuring that you get the full intake of air into your lungs. Improper breathing technique can lead to shallow breathing, a tight diaphragm, and a stressed out nervous system. This video teaches you step-by-step how to breathe with your diaphragm.	YouTube Video
Diaphragm and pelvic floor	This gives a visual of how the diaphragm and pelvic floor work with each other.	YouTube Video
Jaw and pelvis connection	This video shows the connection between the pelvis and jaw. If you have tension in your jaw, it's likely you have tension in your pelvis, and vice versa. The jaw, pelvis, and diaphragm are all connected.	YouTube Video
Yoga with Kassandra	I do a lot of Kassandra’s guided yoga practices. I like how approachable and beginner-friendly they are and I find her tips super helpful. This one is great for mental relaxation, I like to do this before bed sometimes. She has a ton of great videos in very digestible chunks.	YouTube Video
