This workshop is designed for yoga students of all experience levels who want to develop greater awareness, strength and stability in their feet, legs and hips. It is especially supportive for students who want to feel more confident in standing and balancing poses, better understand whole-body alignment or learn accessible ways to use props and modifications. No prior yoga experience is required.

Students will develop greater awareness, mobility and strength in the feet, ankles, legs and hips while learning how these areas influence whole-body alignment. Mindful movement and supported balance work will build steadiness and confidence in standing poses. Students will also learn to use walls, blocks and other supports to adapt poses to their individual bodies and practice with greater stability, ease and awareness.

• Welcome, grounding and an introduction to the feet as the foundation of movement

• Educational and embodied exploration of foot and ankle anatomy, mobility and sensory awareness

• Accessible strength-building practices for the legs and hips

• Standing and balancing poses exploring whole-body alignment and the confident use of walls, blocks and other supports

• Integration through guided rest, questions and closing reflection

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and bring a yoga mat and water. Blocks and other supportive props will be available. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace, and accessible variations will be offered throughout.
