Strengthening your ankle/feet/toe will also Strengthen & fortify your shins, knees, and hips. We use a pair of Yamuna Domes known as Foot Walkers- but they are not necessary for the practice.

Yoga is an ancient practice with many non-physical branches. The few ancient physical postures that did exist were closer to a sitting practice than anything else. In the 1920’s Tirumalai Krishnamacharya added Scandinavian/Western gymnastic type movements into the physical posture portion of Yoga. This series is inspired by him & his alchemy. I recommend at least two soft Yoga blocks, a Yoga mat with some traction & pads/towels as needed. Welcome to Nucleus Strength; a Podcast devoted to Movement, Health, and Well Being.
