Yoga for feet, ankles and calves
Yoga for feet, ankles and calves is a great class for anyone. It's so important to bring awareness to our feet...most of the time, our foundation for many yoga poses plus we spend a great deal of time on our feet. If you wear shoes a lot (like most of us) then the muscles of the feet begin to atrophy. If you've mostly worn shoes for many, many years and you begin yoga later in life, you'll probably have a difficult time balancing until you start to strengthen the muscles in your feet. Ankles and calves need to be strengthened as well to keep us supported.
Yoga for Flexibility: Splits and Backbends
Yoga for flexibility: Splits and Backbends is for all levels. However, please work at your own pace, rest when you need to and do not stretch deeper than your edge. Thank you to Ilse Nieman for requesting hamstring stretching, Angela Renzetti for asking for 30 minute clasess, Lucy Thaxter asking for flexibility especially splits (hanumanasana) and backbends and to Rebecca Bean for requesting hip opening and the "box split" or middle split (Samakonasana). There are options to go into some deep stretches in this video. If you have time, you could also practice the Yoga Quickie Flow video without Savasana for additional warming up.
