Yoga Actions for Feet & Ankles

Part of Yoga Actions Study Guides

Not everyone can do all yoga poses, but everyone can do all yoga actions.

Yoga Actions for Feet & Ankles is the first in a six-volume series of e-books emphasizing primary actions for such areas in our bodies as Legs and Knees, Pelvis and Psoas (Hips and Groins), Spine and Rib Cage, Arms and Shoulders.

Our feet and ankles root and ground us from our early attempts to stand and walk to our later more complex movements involving our whole body. The more we connect to the earth through our feet and ankles, the stronger our knees and hips become and our spine lengthens and strengthens. Ligaments running from our toes to our ankle joints connect to our legs and continue upward. Yoga asanas and actions move and strengthen all the bones and tissues of feet and ankles, bound too long in shoes.  Thus, keeping them pliable and healthy.

Healthy feet and ankles enable us to “stand on our own two feet” providing us with an outward sense of balance and stability and an inward strength of self-awareness and confidence.

Creating Space: Yoga Actions for Feet & Ankles is a treasure chest filled with a bounty of focused yoga actions.  The book has a playful sense that inspires yoga practitioners to explore how each pose feels using different actions. Candace and Helen's loving dedication to their yoga practice and to the niyama of svadhyaya, self-study, is reflected in the book's carefully chosen instructions, the fluid sequencing and the beautiful images. As such, as a yoga teacher's reference, it provides a unique practitioner’s resource to traditional yoga actions, breath instruction and asana propping.
