Integrative Conversations Ep 41: The Language of the Body: Fascia, Breath & Self-Myofascial Release with Jill Miller

In this closing episode of the year—and the final conversation in the Integrative Conversations series- Meli sits down with Jill Miller, movement educator, author, and pioneer in self-myofascial release, to explore fascia as a powerful gateway to healing, embodiment, and nervous system regulation.

Jill shares her personal journey from teaching yoga to creating revolutionary tools and methods like Treat While You Train® and Body by Breath®—and how her work evolved through listening deeply to the body rather than overriding it. Together, they unpack how fascia stores information, tension, and lived experience, and how gentle, intentional practices can help release chronic holding patterns linked to pain, stress, trauma, and fatigue.

This conversation bridges science, sensation, and lived experience, highlighting how self-myofascial release and breathwork are not just physical tools, but practices of self-inquiry, awareness, and repair. Jill explains why learning to feel—rather than push—is essential for longevity, resilience, and true recovery.

You’ll learn: • What fascia is and why it matters for whole-body health • How tension patterns relate to stress and trauma • Why breath is inseparable from movement and healing • How self-myofascial release supports nervous system regulation • The difference between “doing more” and listening better • A practical tool you can apply immediately to reconnect with your body

This episode is an invitation to slow down, sense inward, and remember that healing doesn’t always come from effort—it often comes from attention.
