"Feet love walks, rubs, movement and attention"
I saw this while researching yoga and walking this morning. It is my feet that give me the most concern as I go into my preparation for my Ultra Walk and they do not always love walking.
On a walk through the hills of Girona in Spain a few years ago, I had to give up about half way through the trip because of blisters that had formed below my callouses on the soles of both of my feet. It was so hard to see the group leave in the morning and so hard to be left behind.
Today is my rest day.Keeping out the sun, hydrating, I am barefoot, treating my feet, stretching them and the lower leg muscles.
I want to add yoga into my routine and preparation, so I took out my mat, and followed some suggested poses for walkers.
I hope that by practicing these yoga poses that strengthen and stretch the muscles, joints and connective tissue of the foot and ankle, my foot health, posture and overall health will improve.
"Treat your feet well and your body will appreciate you."
