When I first starting teaching exercise classes many years ago, I never would have thought I'd be running specialist workshops on feet! But over the years, it became really clear that feet are everything: they are the foundation for so much movement, stability and strength. So, for this workshop, I celebrate the role the feet play and offer techniques and ideas to help feet do their job properly.
This workshop is a rare chance to spend time working with your feet and understanding how important they are to movement in classes, sports and everyday life. We’ll learn all about how to strengthen the feet and ankles (great if you have ever sprained or twisted an ankle), how to improve balance and I’ll give you some ideas of how to enhance your body’s performance capabilities in exercise and daily activities. We’ll also look at how to prevent/manage bunions, plantar fasciitis, hammer toes and other conditions.
One of my favourite things about the workshop is when we can dispel some myths about feet and shoes. People may have been told something about their feet many years ago and it might not be true, so we can unpick what that’s all about and work with what we know now. I will bring some barefoot shoes to have a look at and try and there is an information sheet that I send out afterwards.
The workshop is at Caversham Hall and there is free parking on the surrounding roads.
Please bring a mat, a pair of socks and some shoes that you normally wear. You might like to bring a notepad and pen too.
