In Yoga for healthy feet, Donald Moyer shares his insights into working with the feet and ankles gained from over forty years of teaching yoga.
The book includes:
- anatomy and architecture of the feet, as understood from a yogic perspective
- principles of aligning and balancing the feet
- suggestions for addressing common problems, such as foot cramps, sprained ankles, hammer toes, bunions, and plantar fasciitis
- descriptions of 25 poses that most concern the feet, with an emphasis on standing poses and sitting poses
- use of props such as blocks, straps, and wedges to support the feet and alleviate discomfort
- practice sequences for developing awareness, lengthening your toes, strengthening your arches, improving your balance, and supporting your ankle joints
