Foot Posture: The Foundation of Movement January 26

Foot Posture: The Foundation of Movement
Monday, January 26 | 5-6 PM | Strength Studio
Instructor: Will Caetano

Foot posture is the anchor point of the entire kinetic chain which significantly influences alignment, stability, and efficiency in all forms of locomotion including walking, running, and jumping. A slight dysfunction at the foot can be magnified into strain and injury further up the body (ankle, knee, hip, and back)

  • Big Toe Power: Understand the critical, often-overlooked, role of your big toe in the push-off phase of movement. We will use specific exercises to unlock its power, which is essential for efficient walking, running, and achieving powerful, explosive movements.
  • Strength Training: A powerful foot-to-body connection allows you to safely handle heavier loads by creating a solid, non-negotiable anchor point during exercises like squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. It minimizes energy leaks, translating into greater lifting efficiency and maximum force production.
  • Plyometrics & Explosive Movement: Foot Function should act as a spring, critically governing how quickly and efficiently your body can absorb and redirect force. By mastering your foot mechanics, you dramatically improve ground reaction time, jump height, and agility, making your plyometric training safer and significantly more effective.

Sound Bath FAQs

What is a sound bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in various sounds produced by instruments such as singing bowls, drums, and chimes to promote relaxation and healing.

 What do I do in a sound bath? In a sound bath, you typically lie down comfortably and allow the sound vibrations to wash over you, inducing a state of deep relaxation and often leading to a meditative state.

I don’t meditate. Can I still take this class? Yes, you can still benefit from a sound bath class even if you don't meditate regularly. The experience is more about relaxation and immersion in sound rather than traditional meditation techniques. 

What should I wear? Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and lie down easily. Avoid anything too restrictive or uncomfortable.

What do I need to bring? You may want to bring a yoga mat to lie on, a blanket for warmth, a pillow for comfort, an eye mask for greater relaxation, and maybe a water bottle for hydration. 

 Why would I want to attend a sound bath?  A sound bath may improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and support overall well-being through the harmonizing effects of sound vibrations.

 What should I expect to feel during and after a sound bath session? During a sound bath session, you can expect to feel deeply relaxed, experience a sense of calmness, and possibly enter a meditative state. Afterward, you may feel rejuvenated, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced. Some participants also experience multiple nights of restful sleep after a sound bath. 

How does sound healing work, and what scientific evidence supports its efficacy? Sound healing works by using specific frequencies and vibrations to resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras), promoting relaxation and balance. Studies suggest that sound therapy may help reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being.
