ANKLES, FEET AND ARCHES

​

 The seminar ANKLES, FEET AND ARCHES shows us the anatomy and functions of the feet. How to prevent injuries and how to understand the mechanics of this segment in the asana practice.

​

 The feet are extremely complex structures, each foot contains twenty six bones, thirty three articulations and more than one hundred muscles, tendons and ligaments.

 

 All these parts work harmoniously to transport the body from one place to the other and deal with a lot of weight and levels of tension through out the day. Allows us to stand and do activities like walking, running or jumping.
