NEW! Pose of the Week tutorial video + instructional photos - Toe Stretch 🧘🏾‍♀️ (Patreon)

Blessings Nude Yogis 🙏🏽

With Spring in the air, this month's poses and classes will focus on getting us grounded by strengthening our foundations...just like a flower needs to have the soil it grows in nourished so that its roots may be strong and it may blossom with vibrancy...so too do we need to tend to our roots...and what better place to start than with our feet! 

Our feet are what grounds and connects us to this Earth...they are the very foundation of our physical vessel...and so we're kickstarting Spring with a simple, yet challengingly intense, toe and foot stretch. 

In Chinese medicine, it is said that we have various meridians (energy centres and channels) in our feet that correlate with various organs within the body...and so, for this reason also, it is important that we tone and tend to our feet! 

Benefits of this pose can include:

• improves flexibility of ankles, feet and toes
• improves focus and concentration
• great pose for those of us who spend a lot of time on our feet (especially if you spend a lot of time standing...on hard floors!)

Be sure to have a look through the instructional photos also.

Preparatory poses: practice these poses before coming into Garudasana. These preparatory poses will assist you in feeling more supported and ready to get into the pose.

• downward dog (folder 4)
• vajrasana (folder 49)

⚠️PLEASE PRACTICE WITH CAUTION/OR AVOID IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:⚠️

• avoid if you have either an ankle, knee or foot injury

You will find all the material, including the tutorial video and instructional photos, in our Dropbox folder via the link below (in folder 52)
