Beyond Trauma: Meet Your Feet with Monique Ledesma

Rooted villager and shadow yoga teacher, Monique Ledesma, offered us a practice involving work with our feet. Below you’ll find a description of why working with the feet matters. Meet your Feet- One of the first steps in any movement practice is to reacquaint yourself with your feet. They are the foundations of your roots. In the words of Bob Marley, they are our "only carriage". All of our restricted patterns of movement, are connected to the distortions in our feet. They hold the key to undoing your physical restrictions, which are intertwined with patterns of behaviour and thought. We'll explore these ideas, and how you can make a start. For those who are already feet-focussed, I hope to offer new perspectives and ideas to help you deepen your practice. And it would be great if community members had other angles to share. This is how we grow together. - Monique
