HEALTHY FEET ARE HAPPY FEET
Therapeutic Applications of Anatomy
Sunday, April 22
10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Why are feet so important?
How does mobility in our feet help us improve our balance?
When upright, our feet serve as our base of support. The intrinsic equilibrium in our feet allows us to both yield to gravity and locomote through space. This requires a healthy balance between stability and mobility.
In this workshop, we will learn about:
- the essentials of foot anatomy
- the pathways of weight through the heel foot and ankle foot
- the embryological origin of our lower limbs
- the way our reflexes help us negotiate gravity and space
Based on this information, we will examine our standing and walking patterns to identify possible posture and/or movement-related issues and explore asana with an emphasis on function over form.
This workshop is ideal for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners wanting to better understand the functional anatomy of our feet.
