- Iyengar Yoga for Flat Feet | 25 min
Yoga for flat feet, sort of. That’s what this Iyengar Yoga class should actually be called 😂. The practice includes flat foot exercises and tips for how to fix flat feet (strengthen your arches!), but it could also have been titled Iyengar Yoga for Knee Pain or Iyengar Yoga for Back Pain because the practice includes fundamental work with the feet and legs, which is crucial for stabilizing these other, related joints.
The practice includes a quintessentially Iyengar Yoga exploration of Tadasana, Mountain Pose. I hope you enjoy it!

Fantastic. Very effective! Thanks a lot
Love your teaching ❤
Amazing, my teacher back in China thought me pretty similar exercises for flat feet and they really work and help me. Thanks for your work!!
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing your experience ☺️🙏. It’s pretty incredible how effective this work can be!
I have never sweat so much standing absolutely still. Thank you for your instruction!
I've been practicing yoga for five years and just accepted that I'd probably never balance well on one foot. And not necessarily that well on two feet. It took the whole five years for an instructor to recently ask, "Do you happen to have flat feet?"
She showed me how I could stand to create a temporary arch in my foot, and after that I started scouring the internet for how to work on this issue. I found your video and it's amazing. Doing these exercises caused me to feel muscles I'd never been aware of. It was not at all enjoyable or easy, which is how I figure it's working :).
One thing that concerns me is that I've had surgery for a bone spur caused by hallux limitus in my left big toe. My range of motion is already wonky in that toe, and I have trouble spreading the toes wide apart from each other on that foot. My right foot's toes spread apart easily. I'm afraid the structure of my left foot is gonna prevent me from ever really feeling those three points of contact and balancing properly. I'm wondering if you've seen anything similar and if these exercises eventually could help with that as well?
It's hard for me to say without seeing you and getting more detail but I can say that even if you are not able to fully feel/spread/open the foot and toes, there's value in working toward that end. Be patient, consistent, and KIND to yourself ☺️🙏. Good luck!
This is so fantastic! I always fret about my flat feet since Iyengar always stressed the foundation of our feet in asanas. Thank you!
I’m happy to know that you enjoyed the practice ☺️🙏. The feet are indeed so important!
Hi, you say it will strengthen the arches, will it also help raise them? Thanks
Hi there, yes, it will. Part of why the arches have fallen is because of lack of strength.
Really great practice, thanks so much for sharing your wisdom of Iyengar yoga with us.
You are most welcome! I'm so pleased to know that you enjoyed it ☺🙏
Very good and informative. Thank you!
Hi Nancy! You are most welcome. Glad to know you enjoyed it ☺️🙏
It's hard! But it is very useful to train your legs in such a tough way😊
So true! It looks deceptively simple but it’s strong work!! ☺️🙏
Amazing ❤
Thank you so much 🙏
You are most welcome ☺️🙏
It's really amazing that we walk on our own feet for years :) and we don't know these relationships between feet, calves, knees, thighs, buttocks. It's really fascinating! Please tell me what you think about bare foot shoes
I made the switch about a year ago and haven’t looked back 😁🦶💕
@@StephanieTencer thank you🙏
@@StephanieTencer what brand do you wear please - I find Vivobarefoot not wide enough - Will try your foot
exercises! We need to love and respect our feet so much more as they lug us around all our lives. THANKS
@anewdefinitionclare4807 I've tried a few: feelgrounds, wildling, and xero and they have all worked out well for me. When I was researching, I really enjoyed the reviews on barefootwithnika.com. In fact, she has an article titled Best Barefoot Shoes for Wide Feet that you might want to check out: barefootwithnika.com/2022/12/07/best-barefoot-shoes-for-wide-feet/. Good luck! And you are absolutely right - our feet rarely receive the love and respect they deserve 😉🦶💜
