Pillars of Healthy Aging: Yoga for Balanced and Pain-free Feet and Ankles

The feet are a common problem area for people as they get older. This often becomes the source of chronic pain issues that limit our mobility and may require surgery.  

Shoes constrict the feet and toes, so students often struggle to spread their toes and lack the strength to support normal arch alignment.

Improper foot and ankle alignment can contribute to foot pain, knee and hip problems, and even pain in the low back.

Just as bad, wobbly feet and ankles affect our ability to balance and retain a steady gait.

And that, in turn, predisposes us to falls and fractures - the leading causes of disability and loss of independence as we get older.

It doesn't help that after spending a lifetime wearing shoes, many people have trouble bringing awareness to their feet, including most yoga students.

Join renowned yoga teacher Julie Gudmestad for a course on how yoga can help create strong, healthy, and balanced feet for life.

Learn about the most important muscles that support the foot, arch, and ankle and how to improve awareness and restore alignment to restore balance and avoid long-term problems.
