Unlock the Power of Grounded Movement: Functional Feet Workshop for Yoga & Pilates Teachers

Step into a deeper understanding of movement with our Functional Feet Workshop, the first of our specialized series designed to enhance your cuing and sequencing skills from the ground up.

As a Yoga or Pilates teacher, you know that almost every posture and exercise begins with the foundation of the body—your feet ?. This workshop will guide you through the crucial role the feet play in overall movement efficiency, alignment, and body awareness.

Why Attend?
Refine Your Cues: Learn to offer clear, precise instructions that enhance your students’ understanding of how their feet support the rest of their body. Improve balance, stability, and mobility with cues that resonate.

Master Functional Foot Movement: Delve into the anatomy and mechanics of the feet, understanding their relationship with the lower body, pelvis, and spine. Gain tools to address common foot issues and improve posture and alignment.

Elevate Your Sequencing: Learn how to weave functional foot movements into your classes, designing flows that nurture strength, flexibility, and mindful awareness from the ground up.

Practical Applications: With a focus on hands-on learning, this workshop provides actionable techniques you can immediately integrate into your teaching to improve both your and your students’ practice.

Common Issues from Unstable or Poorly Grounded Feet
Many movement practitioners unknowingly experience limitations due to lack of foot and ankle mobility and stability. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to:

Knee and Hip Pain: Poor foot alignment can cause compensation up the kinetic chain, contributing to misalignment and discomfort in the knees and hips.

Poor Posture : Inadequate foot strength can lead to an unstable foundation, resulting in slouched posture and over-reliance on more movement-oriented muscles in the glutes and upper body to “hold things up.”

Limited Balance and Stability: Without mobile and strong feet, it’s difficult to maintain steady balance, especially in standing poses or dynamic movements.

Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Strain: “Flat” arches or tight foot muscles, as well as a heavy heel strike, can result in chronic foot pain, including conditions like plantar fasciitis, which may hinder performance.

Limited Range of Motion: Tight or immobile feet can lead to restricted movement throughout the body, affecting flexibility and fluidity in poses and exercises.

Whether you’re working with beginners or advanced practitioners, understanding the dynamics of the feet will deepen your ability to support and guide students with greater precision and confidence.

Join us and start your journey toward more effective cuing and movement sequencing!

Because when your students are grounded, everything else falls into place.
