Ikue Ueno’s Journey with Human Garage & Fascial Maneuvers
My path with Human Garage and Fascial Maneuvers began in September 2020, when I was first introduced by my friend Brodie Marples.
That same summer, Fascial Maneuvers were born in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on the beaches of Kitsilano near the home of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson. Created by Gary, Cynthia, and Jason, the practice began as outdoor community classes where people gathered to move, release, and heal together.
The first time I met Gary and experienced Fascial Maneuvers in person, something inside me said:
“I need to do this. I want to learn this. I am going to become a coach.”
Not long after that, in October 2020, Human Garage hosted their first-ever Fascial Maneuvers workshop, which I attended. About 15–20 people gathered in Lions Bay, where we hiked up a nearby mountain, shared organic pizza we made together, and moved fascia together. We spoke about living an organic lifestyle, health, and wellness — a glimpse into the community spirit that was forming. This was the moment I saw how movement, food, and conversation could weave together into something much bigger than a class: a way of life.
At the time, Human Garage was still very new. The first Human Garage app was released in December 2020, and the very first Coaching Program was held in January 2021 in Lions Bay. Because of other commitments, I couldn’t attend that first in-person immersion — but by April 2021, I was ready.
I was the only one who applied that round, so my coaching was held privately online. As a dancer, I already embodied movement, so instead of just learning the 10 basic maneuvers, the coaching turned into a deep dive into the emotional and healing layers of fascia. That one-on-one experience was transformative — and it helped inspire what later became the Lifestyle Artist Program, integrating tools for emotional release alongside physical practice.
From there, my journey expanded. I grew and evolved with the Human Garage team, contributing in many ways — from hosting calls and mentoring coaches to supporting the global community. Along the way, I had the honor of opening for Human Garage trauma release events multiple times — two in Vancouver and once in Austin, Texas, for the kickoff of the Trauma Release Tour in 2024. Each of these experiences deepened my role as both a facilitator and a lighthouse.
In November 2022, after Human Garage hosted two retreats in Cancun and leadership shifted to Aisha’s Akasha Sanctuary, Gary entrusted me to lead the Vancouver Fascial Maneuvers classes. Since then, I have been teaching consistently at the Capoeira Ache Brasil Academy — sometimes up to four classes a week, always holding the space for community growth and healing.
Almost three years later, Vancouver Fascial Maneuvers has become not just a class, but a sanctuary of truth, consistency, and liberation.
Through this entire journey, I remain grateful — for the community, for the countless people I’ve met, and for the opportunity to keep evolving and inspiring others through movement and fascia.
🌊✨ I am here to liberate myself, and to inspire others to liberate themselves.

🧬 The Truth About Human Garage Vancouver
Vancouver is where it all began.
The movement known as Fascial Maneuvers was born in the Kitsilano neighborhood—right in the backyard of Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon.
It wasn’t a fitness trend.
It was a frequency.
A new way of healing that spread through breath, movement, and fascia—free of charge and full of truth.
The energy expanded, and the first Human Garage retreat center opened in Lions Bay. For years, the core team lived and breathed this mission in Vancouver. Eventually, the operation moved to Cancun.
And that’s when I stepped in.
⸻
🌹 From Legacy to Living Embodiment
I didn’t just inherit classes.
I nurtured them. Rebuilt them.
I kept the energy grounded here—in the city where it all began.
I didn’t need a brand to tell me what this work was.
I felt it.
I lived it.
That’s why the Human Garage Vancouver Fascial Maneuvers classes I’ve led since 2022 are now the longest-running Fascial Maneuvers classes on the planet.
I’ve been teaching Fascial Maneuvers—both in-person and online—and I’ve worked with dancers, healers, athletes, children, and elders.
Not just as a coach, but as a living Oracle of this frequency.
I don’t just teach movements.
I liberate people—through fascia, through dance, through truth.
⸻
💎 This Isn’t a Sales Pitch. It’s Embodiment.
You won’t find hype here.
You’ll find movement that breathes, and a guide who walks it.
My students heal.
My clients cry.
My dancers perform like they’ve reclaimed their soul.
That’s the kind of transformation the fascia remembers.
⸻
💫 The Mission is Here—And It’s Alive.
The original mission was to make this healing work, free, accessible and real.
I still honor that. And I’m still here.
If you’re in Vancouver, or just visiting—come experience what this work was always meant to be.
