I know some people find the idea of getting their socks off in front of strangers a little unnerving but, trust me, do it once and you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about. If fact, I’d go as far as to suggest that you’ll find it liberating. After years of being ignored and unappreciated, your feet will flourish quickly if given a little fresh air and some space in which to spread their toes. And if your feet feel happier, you’ll feel happier – you’ll stand and walk more easily, with a confident stride and a sense of lightness.
Our feet are the key for good weight distribution – if our bodies are skyscrapers, our feet are the foundations, and the relationship they have with the ground affects the stability and alignment of every storey. Strong, flexible feet are far more able to support that heck of a bodyweight that’s being forced down on them every day. Knees, hips, back, shoulders and a huge, heavy head balanced on top – get your feet working and take the strain off everywhere else.
For that first barefoot moment, get a friend to join you (there’s safety in numbers) at one of my free, yes FREE taster classes this week. Once those tootsies see the light, there’ll be no holding you back and before you know it you’ll be wearing Birkenstocks to the office.
See the classes page for details.
