![]() Sit facing forward or to the left or right along with the lesson. ![]() Sit on or support feet with a folded blanket or towel to make the thighs and hips level. If legs in the air isn’t for you, lie supine with shins supported on a stool or chair and feet against a flat surface like the back of the chair, a piece of furniture or a wall. This lesson gets to the core of it: the tripod of the foot, where this fundamental support sets up the whole system. It touches all the “Back On Our Feet” lessons to date, starting with toes, moving on to the edges of the feet, and to that elusive ‘front of the heel’ from the mash-up "cowgirl boot” lesson. The finale integrates the feet into the entire leg system, as we touched on in the “pillows and swings’ lesson.Īs it progresses, the image of ‘tapping a button with the outside ankle’ is a guide to shifting weight across the foot without rolling the knee. This is important for protecting knees from the twisting they were never designed to accommodate. The outside ankle, however, allows for movement and support of the knee that outside ankle know is actually the bottom of the thin fibula bone, which does allow for twisting, and can play an important part in stabilizing the knee. Ultimately, the forefoot (ball of foot and metatarsal under the ‘ring toe’) form one line of the triangle, both corners pointing to the front of the heel. This stable position allows for the foot triangle to support the whole body in both standing and walking. ![]() This lesson is supine, lying on the back.
