Begin by kneeling on your mat. actively curl your toes under and slowly sit back onto your heels. The weight of your body will create a deep stretch across the tops of the feet, the ankles, and into the toes. If the sensation is too intense, place a folded blanket between your heels and your sitting bones to reduce the pressure.
This pose effectively counteracts the tightness caused by shoes, high heels, and long hours of standing or walking. It increases flexibility in the toes and ankles, can help alleviate discomfort from plantar fasciitis, and stimulates the numerous nerve endings and acupuncture points in the feet, which correspond to various organs in the body. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of a strong and supple foundation.
Hold Toes Stretch Pose for 1 to 3 minutes. Practice it 3-4 times a week to maintain foot health and improve overall balance and stability.
