Arches of the Foot - Everything you need to know

Arches of Foot are ergonomically designed to distribute the body's weight efficiently and absorb shock while we stand, run or walk. In yoga, we are asked to have strong firm feet for leg balancing postures like Vrikshasana or Ardha Chandra Asana but from where we draw this firmness to stand strong and straight. In order to design a yoga sequence for fallen arches (flat feet), high arches, plantar fasciitis, and arch strain, a yoga instructor or practitioner must have a solid understanding of the anatomy of the foot and arches. Join two-day digital enlightening session on the arches of the foot with Dr. Vineeta Ketkar #yoga programs, #Health wellness courses, #Yoga therapy courses, #Yoga for Senior Citizens

Program Overview

The mechanism for balance is created by well-formed arches in the feet. The foot's arches are crucial for supporting body weight. Dr. Vineeta Ketkar's two-day zoom program aims to inform participants on the architecture of the foot arches, the muscles and ligaments that support them, and a yoga pose that can help with a variety of potential issues.

The foot's arches are dynamic and flexible rather than immobile structures. Depending on the requirements of various activities and surfaces, they can modify their stiffness and shape. Therefore, Dr. Vineeta Ketkar will also enlighten with the season's effect on the arches in this workshop's second season.  

You can use your arches to their fullest extent if you understand their anatomy. Owning that range of motion is essential to arch strengthening. You will be able to create a solid foundation from the ground up with the help of this program.
