From Pain to Possibility Susi Hately

In the next part of my “Exploring Your Feet” mini-series, I’m talking with two trainees of my recent Yoga Intensive, Lisa Neukomm and Angelique Canonico. Both are here sharing their stories about feet-related issues and how they’ve benefited from my course to begin healing.



Listen in to our conversations as we open your eyes, your heart, and your mind to the healing possibilities in your own feet and body, and that of your clients. That includes becoming more aware of your movements, using your breath to relieve tension, and promoting strong, supple feet.

When experiencing pain or discomfort, it’s easy to fixate on finding out the next exercise you need to do for your rehabilitation process. That logical processing is necessary but in order to support a transformative healing process, we must also use a different part of our brain.
 


This practice will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the relaxation response, which slows down brain wave frequency and provides optimal healing opportunities. So, whether it’s outside or on a treadmill, tune in for this walking practice for a more mindful approach to healing your feet.

In part three of my mini-series, Exploring Your Feet, we’re taking a holistic view of healing the feet—a perspective that incorporates both the body and mind. To do so, we’ll be looking at our feet as our body’s foundation but also as a link in a connected chain.



So tune in as I explore kinetic changes and several exercises that can be used to support your clients as they improve the function of their feet. I’ll also be examining how to better understand body mechanics and why it’s possible to make progress in how we feel without actually making changes to those mechanics.

On today’s episode—the second in my new mini-series, Exploring Your Feet—I’m investigating how our feet respond to flip flops as well as sharing my own experiences in managing this stimulus while also elevating my function.



Listen in to learn the compensation patterns most associated with wearing flip flops, the ways to support foot function while doing so, and how my time bike riding has allowed me to become more connected to my movements—both my feet and up the chain.

It’s a very special episode today as I’m beginning a brand new mini-series, “Exploring Your Feet,” where we will dive deep into our feet, the pain and soreness that can occur in our feet, and ways to use our feet to better understand our movements.



Listen in as I help you understand the feet as the foundation of your movements (while also sharing how that interpretation can be limiting) as well as ways to tune into your feet such as by using a golf ball to relieve tension in various parts of your body.
