Anatomy, latest research and lots of practical ideas.
For teachers and trainees.
- £25 -
In yoga classes, we are lucky; most of our practice takes place in bare feet.
We are aware of how our feet flex and extend, how all segments articulate, and how feet help us with stability and balance.
There are countless ways in which we can improve how our feet contribute to a body that is more stable and resilient without using excessive tension elsewhere. Good grounding and mobile feet can take some strain away from our knees, our pelvis, our spine and our shoulders. It might help to free our breathing and help us move with greater ease and fluidity.
The workshop will cover some basic anatomy, things that might go wrong with our feet, discussion of recent research, and an exploration of how we can best restore our natural foot function.
Much of the time will be given to practical work: somatic explorations as well as specific exercises and ways to make this process fun and accessible.
There will be slides and detailed hand-outs.
The workshop is for all interested yoga practitioners, teachers and student teachers.
