14m
This class focuses on strengthening the feet, ankles, and lower legs to improve stability and support throughout the body.
The feet and ankles are the foundation for movement. When they are strong and well aligned, they help support the knees, hips, and spine. When they are weak or unstable, the body often compensates higher up the chain.
The calves and lower leg muscles play an important role in balance, propulsion, and shock absorption when we walk or move. They also help stabilize the ankle joint and support the arches of the feet.
In this class we build awareness of how the feet, ankles, and lower legs align underneath the body and how they work together to create a stable base.
Using a hand towel, rolled socks or a small ball, and a wall for support, we explore exercises that strengthen different parts of the calves and lower leg while improving control through the ankle and foot.
This class helps restore strength and stability in the lower leg while supporting better alignment and balance throughout the body.
