Our poor neglected and abused feet /: Too "bad" of shoes squash them and hold them hostage. Too "good” of shoes try to replace them. Too many smooth, flat surfaces ignore their many capabilities and tighten them into something barely useful. Too much sitting replaces their multiple purposes with calves and quads rendering them obsolete.
Imagine a world where feet could gloriously resume their 5,000,000,000-year-old role of trusted, valuable propellers, balancers, trampoline-like weight bearers and shock absorbers. Imagine a world where the rest of the body could return to doing what it is best at because of those valuable feet = happiness and peace!
This workshop explores our human feet through Pilates exercises and philosophy - how to build strong, resilient, ambassador - like partners that can fully direct our body with surety and finesse and can hold us in place to withstand the difficulties of life. We'll use the Toe Corrector, the Foot Corrector, the Towel, as well as see how every Pilates exercise and piece of apparatus can be a foot exercise and in being so, becomes a full-body exercise.
