Your feet are essential to you. If you struggle with foot pain, you would know how incredibly dependent you are on your ankles, feet, and toes – I mean, they hold you up, although you may not pay much attention to them in your daily lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you wear shoes to protect your feet from injuries, to look good, sometimes these shoes are not your size, or you wear them all day, so your feet spend a great deal of time cooped up. In addition, as we age, many people develop inflammations in the soles, heels, and balls of their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, factors like weight, posture, and favored hand and athletic activities like running<\/a>, hiking, biking, etc., lead to developing foot issues and weak, unaligned feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, when I started yoga, I found out how weak my feet really were. I couldn\u2019t do the Tree pose properly for a very long time or settle into the Hero pose or Child pose, but through yoga, I learned to stand and take better care of my feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga helps you learn to distribute your weight evenly; this way, you know to rest on your feet without putting too much pressure on one foot or just your heels, as most people are wont to do. Thus, you can stretch your feet and toes, use the balls of your feet rather than just your heels and strengthen your arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong feet mean you can have better balance in your posture, move better and stay grounded. Yoga helps you to achieve these<\/a> while working on your feet flexibility and loosening your joints.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few poses to help you relieve the stress in your feet, toes, and ankles. Make sure you do them on a flat surface and barefooted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
