My work as a yoga teacher is mostly barefoot. So I like to keep my toes and feet looking and feeling good. Here is a clip of my feet getting some love and attention. And a good opportunity to remind myself and my yoga students to spread their toes and ground through the feet in the standing yoga poses / asana. Find your feet, find your root, find your balance.
My favourite inverted yoga pose and favourtie arm balance is Pincha Mayurasana – feathered peacock. It works the upper body but using the forearms instead of the hands and wrists makes it more accessible than some of the other arm balances. It can be scarey for some yoga students to practice inversions but once you have practiced some preparatory poses, gained confidence and had a supportive teacher spotting you, it is a revelation how wonderful it feels to be in an inverted asana. Next time you feel that your world has been turned upside down by some disruptive event in your life off the yoga mat, you can remember how good it can feel to be upside down.
Join my classes in Woodley, Earley, Reading to practice inverted yoga poses.
