We often neglect our ankles until they stiffen up and give us problems. These techniques will help you gently regain flexibility in the feet, ankles, and surrounding muscles.

Practice Guidelines

Before starting your yoga asana practice, please read the Practice Guidelines for helpful tips.

Practice every day

Practice these ankle exercises daily, ideally several times a day. You can also do them sitting at your desk or on the couch. This helps to stretch and relax your ankles and feet, especially if your shoes make them tight or sore.

Yoga dance

This is a fun way to strengthen your ankles. It’s also a great way to let go of tension at the end of a busy day!

Reduce pain and inflammation

Before bathing, gently brush your whole body with our Detoxify Skin Brush [link to product], including your ankles. After bathing, apply our Detoxify Massage Oil to [link to product] your ankles and to key areas for clearing lymph, including behind the ears, sides of the neck, collarbones, underarms, and behind the knees.

Now that your ankles are more flexible, it’s time to strengthen them with these asanas and multi-day courses. Not only will your feet and ankles get stronger, but the poses will benefit your entire body.

Improve balance

The three individual asanas (Flamingo, Garudasana, and Tiptoe Squats) all involve balance, which is great for building strength. If you need support, stand near a wall or hold onto a chair.
