In Tune & Aligned

Think of your first step as the first note of a symphony. Your body is just like a symphony. There are a lot of individual instruments that, when in tune, can work efficiently to create a beautiful melody.


Much like a bass line acts as a steady, deep foundation for the remaining instruments, your feet hold you up. Your ankles create the right opening for the other major joints to work efficiently. When your ankles do their job right, the knees follow, then the hips, then the shoulders, and finally, the head finds its natural, effortless place in space. Once your body has a strong foundation, the rest of your body is allowed the space and freedom to flourish.


In order to move your ankles we need the help of muscles. Here are some exercises that you can do every day to help strengthen the muscles around your ankles. The ideal balance between flexibility and strength in the region of your feet will help open up the rest of the muscles running up your body.

Like learning to play an instrument or refining those skills, it is important not only to practice every day with diligence but also to stay open to the expansion in the range of motion that your body will eventually reach.

Practice the exercises below, every day and notice how your body becomes stronger and more in tune!
