This in-depth, body-based workshop is designed for adults who care for or work with children aged 5–11 — parents, yoga/pilates instructors, educators, and pediatric therapists.
Our focus: understanding and addressing the early signs of dysfunction in children's feet — before they lead to long-term postural, neurological, or emotional issues.
🧠 This isn’t pediatric podiatry — it’s a somatic, therapeutic approach to foundational development.
Led by a certified yoga specialist and psychosomatic specialist, the workshop blends movement science, developmental anatomy, and body-based therapy to decode what kids’ feet are telling us — and how to support them naturally.
🔍 We’ll explore:
Flat feet: functional vs. structural
Toe gripping, collapsed arches & over-pronation
W-sitting, in-toeing, and gait imbalances
Weak foot musculature & instability
Hypermobile joints & poor proprioception
Early bunions, hammertoes, and toe deviation
Emotional grounding & the psychosomatic map of the feet
Barefoot training: when it helps, when it doesn’t
Simple daily exercises and at-home techniques to support change
🧘♀️ Ideal for:
Parents noticing fatigue, clumsiness, or poor posture in their kids
Yoga and movement teachers working with children
Pediatric health practitioners interested in a somatic lens
Bodyworkers looking to expand their skillset into developmental support
⚠️ Adults only. This is a theory + practice workshop (no children present).
Part 1 of the workshop will be held strictly without children present. During this session, we will cover the essential theory and teach you how to safely perform the exercises yourself.
