People practice yoga for a variety of health benefits: flexibility, strength, posture, calming, focused breathing, heart benefits. Feet are significant to that practice, and the fact is your feet are a reflection of the state of your body. Most people, however, treat their feet rather poorly.

Reflexology, bodywork focused mainly on the feet, helps to improve the body’s flexibility, immune function, stress levels, and more. It makes sense then that incorporating some self-care reflexology into your yoga practice would increase the benefits realized.

Think how flexible a little baby is, even “kissing” their feet. Guido Tuveri, in his book “Reflexolo Yogi” co-authored with Wendy Coad, suggests we “…cultivate a new relationship with our bodies – one that is gentle and harmonious… begin by reclaiming the ownership of our feet.” As with yoga, reflexology enhanced yoga has cumulative benefits over time. There’s no competition – just the more flexible you become, the easier it is to reach the feet, and the more flexible the body becomes. There’s a great interconnectedness.
