We use Sun Salutation to stretch our back through all the planes. But one thing we forget to stretch and don't pay much attention to is our feet. Namaste. I'm Cindy Mastry. Willy is going to help me demonstrate how we can use yoga block to help you stretch your feet. It creates a little more work for your feet 'cause you have to press down. So a little more blood flow can come into your feet. So I'm going to ask Willy just to bring his feet up onto the block and spread his toes as much as he can. It's kind of a small block. And just right here, he's creating a balance, believe me, it's a little bit tough to balance right here. So, I'm going to ask Willy to inhale in and lift up through the balls of his feet and this is going to break up scar tissue in his feet and also bring more blood flow down to his feet. We crammed our feet in the shoes, we stomp around, stomp our toes and we don't really give ourselves much love with our toes. So lowering the heels down. So if you can just come up onto a block and do a couple toe balance, as lifting up to the balls of the feet and lowering down. This is a great way to break up scar tissue and bring a little blood flow to your feet and toes. Namaste.
