Description

Feet are a vital component in healthy posture. 75% of people report foot pain at some time in their lives. Feet are sensory organs. Feet have 26 of the 206 bones in your body, to include 33 joints designed to negotiate uneven surfaces. They are second to the hands for nerve reaction. Our heart needs to pump to our extremities. Our feet ground us; they have relationships to our sensory organs. Our feet are a powerful energy source with a plethora of marma points, Chinese acupressure points, and nadis (subtle energy lines that channel every cell in the body) There are 72,000 Nadis or energy centers in the body. Although the feet are farthest from the brain, they are vital to brain health and where we are in space. On a practical note, when our feet hurt, we feel it. When we are anxious, we need our feet to ground us. Our feet propel us from one place to another. Our feet are our foundation to move, feel, and compose ourselves. In this workshop, we will discover our feet. This will include everyday inquiries to open our feet, open to the earth, and rediscover the ground. This workshop will include anatomy, footwork, and standing postures in your yoga practice to include downward dog. This workshop will focus on the lower body from the knee to the foot. Please feel free to bring your own props and a notebook. We have blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps but feel free to being your own if you prefer. A little bit about the host: Lorna Nafziger- ERYT 500, IAYT instructor, Trigger point therapy, Cranial Sacral 1/2 I think I have been interested in yoga since I was 3 and didn’t really realize that this was a path I would pursue. I used to sit next to my dad crossed legged, I have always been interested in alternative health, stretching, and knowing my body. I began the path by video tapes, this dates me, but I felt so much better. This led me to a 20-year training process all over the world. The more I understood myself, I could understand people. I am passionate about teaching, anatomy, movement, nature, and food. I hope you will join me on a journey from the ground up. I am visiting the area and offering both workshops, Happy Feet and Yoga for a Healthy Back at terra sol. Thanks for your support.
