Your feet are an often-abused yet overlooked part of your body. In this workshop, we will learn ways to release and strengthen the feet, then look at how your posture, alignment, and walking pattern may be causing you pain.

In this class, you will:
• Learn foot releases, stretches and strengthening exercises
• Evaluate your walking/gait patterns for reduced pain and greater efficiency
• Practice yoga techniques to increase awareness and improve the long-term health of the feet
• Explore simple posture assessment to alleviate tension and imbalances in the body
