Description

HAPPY FEET — A Workshop on Foot & Ankle Health Nathan Martin & Sam Van Saun Sunday, March 7 · 3–5pm · $50/person Twenty-six bones, thirty-three joints, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments — all of it packed into a structure most of us think about only when it hurts. Your feet are the foundation for everything you do standing up. This workshop gives them two hours of undivided attention. Hour One: Anatomy in Motion. Nathan Martin walks you through how the foot and ankle are actually built and what they're doing under load, then leads a GYROKINESIS® class centered on the feet and ankles — mobilizing the arches, the toes, and the joints above them that depend on all of it working. Hour Two: Tools and Care. Sam Van Saun puts a set of foot wakers under you and teaches you how to use them: how to stand on them, how to stretch each part of the foot across them, and which exercises build real strength in the feet and ankles. She'll also cover warming the foot and ankle up before you walk or train, how to ice properly afterward, using arnica for soreness, and where orthotics genuinely help and where they don't. Foot wakers are provided for the workshop, and available to purchase at the end if you want to keep the practice going at home.
