#TBT earlier this year when I was introduced to @kathrynbruniyoung great and inspiring podcasts. The first interview of hers I heard was with Nick St. Louis, a physical therapist and founder of mindful movement community @thefootcollective, and since then I have been obsessed with learning more about the feet! It's so cool and complex the world that exists within our two feet. Just imagine in the human body alone there are 200+ bones and 26 of those bones are in each foot. So about a fourth of the bones in the whole body are in the feet! Not to mention 33 some joints for mobility, that's a whole lot of machinery to make one move. In this podcast I learned so much foot function and how foot care effects the rest of the body including posture and balance. Definitely check out the @thefootcollective for lots of great resource of foot care and also foot wear. KBY has also done other wonderful interviews with inspiring teachers such as @CarrieOwerko and many others forward thinking and reputable profiles in the field of yoga, movement education, physical therapy, biomechanices, pain science, and beyond. Nick St. Louis talks about balancing on a low beam as a great way to improve one's mobility. I didn't have a such a balancing beam but I did have a lot of time on my hand (or feet haha) to setup this circle of bricks to walk across clockwise and counter-clockwise. So fun to test walking balance. Thanks @namastdayyoga for the practice space! I'm teaching at this great studio in LA the next two Saturdays (July 13 and July 20) an all levels class 9:30am-10:45am and we will surely explore all levels of balancing. Come join!
