Yoga for Foot Pain

by Baxter

Study of Hands and Feet for the Golden Age by Ingres

As I was preparing for an upcoming workshop on Yoga for Healthy Feet at Mountain Yoga in Oakland, California, I happened to review our recent communications from you, our readers (thanks for all of these questions, by the way, and keep them coming!), and came across this timely inquiry:

I am a 67-year-old female in good physical condition. About 10 years ago, I slipped down a steep hill and came to a stop half way down the hill, using my foot to stop. I immediately had severe pain in the arch of my foot to which I applied ice. Every since then, I have had pain in the arch of my foot, to varying degrees. I now have that pain wrapping around from the arch to the top of my foot and pain that wraps around my ankle. Even the bone on the medial side of my foot, above the arch, becomes sore at times. I frequently wake up in the middle of the night with arch pain. When I walk fast at all, I get shooting pain in my arch. I have been to the orthopedic doctor and they have injected steroids into the tendon sheath in the bottom of my foot and also by the ankle. These injections have helped for a short time. I don’t want any more steroids. Are there any yoga exercises that I could be doing to strengthen this area and to decrease the inflammation that is there? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I’d like to start by acknowledging how challenging traumatic injuries can be to our bodies, and how they sometimes don’t easily heal and allow us to feel like our old selves again, at least not on the timetable we would prefer! Our reader’s situation appears complicated in the sense that the pain she experiences moves around, is aggravated by certain activities, has been around a long time, and even wakes her up at night. And despite seeing an orthopedic specialist and getting some steroid injections to decrease inflammation in the tissues of her foot, her pain persists. Although I cannot make specific recommendations for this person without a more thorough history and physical, I can provide some general recommendations on approaching foot pain and working toward stronger and more supple feet and greater pain-free movement.

Non-Weight Bearing Mobilization

It turns out the feet are quite complex parts of the body. There are 52 bones in the feet, and each foot has approximately 33 joints, each of which can move in multiple directions. The possible number of distortions of the foot is a huge number, something on the order of 8x10 to the 36th power. In contrast to the foot’s huge variety of possible shapes and movements, we usually wake up, are in bare feet for just a few minutes in the morning and then jam our feet into shoes all day, which protect the feet for sure, but limit movement dramatically. So the first wonderful thing about practicing yoga is that you liberate your feet from shoes for however long your home practice is each day. In the context of painful feet, it may be a great starting place to do yoga practices that are non-weight bearing, since things like brisk walking, as in our reader’s case, might be influencing the persistence of pain.

A good place to start would be with any “warm-up” practices that involve lying on your back or belly and moving your limbs and feet around. An example would be Legs up the Wall pose (Viparita Karani), in which you could add in movements of your feet and ankles to promote mobility of the joints and soft tissues of your feet. Other examples of poses where there is no or very little pressure on your feet include Thread the Needle pose, Locust pose (Salabasana), and Reclining Twist pose (Jathara Parivartanasana). In all these poses, you can deliberately choose how you want to position your feet and ankles—whether you want to spread or curl your toes or vary other foot movements and positions—to bring greater awareness to how your feet are doing moment to moment. Once you are comfortable in these poses and your foot pain doesn’t flare, you are ready to move on.

Locust with One Leg Up

Mild Weight-Bearing Poses

There are several basic yoga poses that begin to require more of your feet in terms of dealing with forces to the soles, the tops, and the edges of your feet. As you introduce this new group of poses, you will again be monitoring how your feet respond during the practice, as well as after the practice, such as overnight. Some of my initial choices include:

1. Reclined Leg Stretch pose (Supta Padangustasana)
2. Bridge Pose (Setubanda Sarvangasana)
3. Seated Crossed-Legs Pose (Sukasana)
4. Cobblers Pose (Baddha Konasana)

With Reclined Leg Stretch, you are still not bearing weight but you are bringing pressure onto the sole of your foot with the strap. You can vary the location of the strap; I like the heel pad, the mid-foot, or the ball of the foot. And you can vary the intensity of the pull of the strap to gauge how much your foot can handle.

Reclined Leg Stretch Pose

With Bridge Pose, you are beginning to bear weight on your feet, but not your entire body weight, so this pose provides is good way to test the waters to see what your feet are ready to handle. The other seated poses put a bit of pressure on different parts of your feet and can help reveal areas of ongoing tenderness that might need a slower approach towards full function.

Full Weight-Bearing Poses

When you are feeling ready to stand up and see how your feet handle more challenging situations, you can begin to explore the basic two-legged standing poses. Mountain pose and all of its variations—arms overhead, side bending, and so on—are the starting place and a good home base to return to for this group of poses. 

Arms Overhead Pose

From there, move on to the classic two-legged standing poses, such as Triangle pose (Trikonasana), Warrior 1 and 2 (Virabrdrasana 1 and 2), Extended Side Angle pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana), Pyramid pose (Parsvottansanas), and Widespread Standing Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana). Each of these poses will bring slightly different challenges and forces to your feet and ankles. You might add them gradually over time and assess how each one affects the feet.

Triangle Pose

Once poses on two feet are becoming easier, add more challenge by working on one-legged poses, such as Tree pose (Vrksasana), Half Moon pose (Arda Chandrasana), Eagle pose (Garudasana), Warrior 3 (Virabradrasana 3), and Dancer pose (Natarajasana). Be willing to go more slowly with these pose, however, as they will focus more force and pressure onto your feet and ankles, and may require more time and attention to get better at. 

Warrior 3 Pose

Dynamic Movements

In real life, we are moving around on our feet quite a bit, walking, occasionally squatting, and periodically dancing, cycling, or running. You can ready and train your feet for these variable movements by practicing dynamic yoga sequences. The most obvious choices are Sun Salutations and Moon Salutations, but I suggest that you can also allow yourself some creative license to invent your own dynamic movement using yoga poses. Keep a playful, yet focused attention as you move in and out of various yoga poses with clear awareness of your feet. 

See Agility Practice and  Want to Improve Your Balance? Take Off Your Shoes! for more ideas.


Finally…

Hopefully these suggestions can assist in the healing process from a variety of painful foot issues. There are certainly many other non-yoga practices and therapies we cannot cover here, but you have a starting place with yoga to begin your healing journey.

Four Ways to Survive the Holidays with Yoga

by Nina

Hegel's Holiday by Rene Magritte*

We’re quickly moving into the full-blown, end of the year holiday season that is Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa topped off by New Year’s Eve. For many of us, this time of year is very challenging. We have too much to do. We’re traveling through snow and rain to get some place and then a few days after that slogging home again. And when we’re together for days at a time with family members, old behavior patterns and conflicts can raise their ugly heads. Or maybe we can’t be with family—or don’t have one—so the whole season looks nothing like at all like a Hollywood movie. And yet there are always those expectations for having a “wonderful” time. So it’s no wonder this time of year many of us experience disappointment and sadness, not to mention stress and anxiety.

But this year we have our whole yoga toolbox at our fingertips, so I’m sure we can all do a better job of surviving these challenges with a measure of equanimity and grace.

After some thought, I’ve decided to suggest a two-part strategy. The first is to use the wisdom of yoga to change your attitude toward the holidays. It seems that in great part it is our plans going awry or hopes being crushed that cause so much emotional difficulty during this time. By changing your attitude, you can do your best not to get stressed out in the first place. Then because, well, some amount of stress is inevitable—even when we trying our best not to let things get to us, we tend to crack once in a while—you can use your favorite yoga stress reduction techniques to calm yourself  down and quiet your mind.

YOGA TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS

 1. Consider your attachment to your plans and hopes for the holidays.

The Yoga Sutras tells us in sutra 3.3 that attachment to pleasure and aversion to pain are two of the “afflictions” that cause human suffering.

And it seems to me that one of the pleasures we become attached to is our fantasies about how our lives will turn out (see Attachment (Raga) to Our Ideas About Ourselves). So start by recognizing your attachment to your plans and hopes for the holiday season. And admit to yourself that your attachment to those plans IS an affliction. (As I wrote in Attachment (Raga) to Our Ideas About Ourselves, I sometimes think we cling to our attachments in a form of magical thinking, because we feel as if holding on to our plans and hopes will make some kind of magic that will allow us to obtain what we desire.) Then see if you can work your way to letting go of some of those attachments. 

And maybe the discomfort we feel while traveling and while witnessing—or even participating in—family conflicts is pain to which we feel aversion. Can you try to shift your thinking a bit about whether the suffering these situations causes you is inevitable? 

As the Bhagavad Gita says, “When a man has mastered himself, he is perfectly at ease in cold, in heat, in pleasure or pain, in honor or disgrace.” And speaking of family members, the Gita says this, too:

He looks impartially on all:
those who love him or hate him,
his kinsmen, his enemies, his friends

the good, and also the wicked.

2. Go ahead with your plans, but do your work with “detachment” or “skill in actions,” as the Gita recommends.

The wise man lets go of all

results, whether good or bad,

and is focused on the action alone.

Yoga is skill in actions.

So take your trip, help with all that cooking, give your gifts, spend time with your family members, and open your home to others, all without worrying about success or failure. This is the combination of active engagement and acceptance that we’ve been writing about since the early days of the blog (see What We Need to Practice and Acceptance, Active Engagement, and the Bhagavad Gita), which is the way to achieve equanimity in your everyday life. And equanimity is definitely something we can all use a bit more during the holidays.

3. Practice yoga for stress management to quiet your nervous system and your mind.

Reducing your stress levels will support your ability to put the wisdom of yoga in to practice. After all, yoga’s relaxing practices, including meditation and pranayama, were developed specifically to help quiet the mind so a yogic approach toward life would be possible. See The Relaxation Response and Yoga. For those who are pressed for time, here are a few suggestions:

• Mini Restorative Practice (see Featured Sequence: Mini Restorative Practice)
• One or more Supported Inverted Poses (see All About Supported Inverted Poses)
• Meditation session (see Starting a Meditation Practice)
• Body Scan or Yoga Nidra (see Audio Tracks for guided versions by Baxter)
• Breath Practices that calm you (see Friday Q&A: Breath Practices for Anxiety)

4. Let contentment lead to joy.  

Both Ram and I have written about cultivating santosha as an important part of yoga practice (see Santosha: Happiness and Longevity and Yoga and the Pursuit of Happiness). Santosha means "contentment" and TKV Desikachar defines contentment as "the ability to be comfortable with what we have and what we do not have."

To help you cultivate contentment, the Yoga Sutras recommends meditation, pranayama (breath practices) and detachment. And then there’s this:

1.33 Through cultivation of friendliness, compassion, joy, and indifference to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene and benevolent.

Well, that certainly seems like a good approach for the holiday season. So I wish you joy—no matter what your plans are this year.

What is a Dumbcane plant

Dumb Cane is the common name of the tropical plant of the genus Dieffenbachia and the family Araceae. Seguine and Amoena are two of the most well-known species of this plant. The Dumb Cane is referred to as The King of Plants, as it's a large and hearty plant that doesn't need a lot of light to grow well. The Dumb Cane is tall with long, pattered leaves. If the plant grows so tall that it looks too spindly, the top may be cut back in most cases.

The Dumb Cane often grows up to at least six feet (1.829 m) tall. The leaves are dark green with distinctive v-shaped pale yellow or cream patterns. Some species have spotted patterns. The Dumb Cane has remained one of the most popular houseplants in the United States since the 19th century as it can grow well in shade and any type of lighting conditions. A well-drained soil is often recommended for growing Dumb Canes.

Although the Dumb Cane is a favorite houseplant, it is not the best for smaller children and curious pets. This is because the leaves, sap and roots are very poisonous if ingested and can cause swelling of the mouth, tongue and throat. The sap of a Dumb Cane is especially acrid. The vocal cords may be so damaged and numb after chewing on part of a Dumb Cane that speech is impossible. This is why the plant is called the Dumb Cane; to be dumb means to be without the ability to produce speech.

Research has shown that calcium oxalate crystals found in the Dumb Cane cause swelling and dumbness. Some studies have found that toxic proteins such as asparagine in the calcium oxalate crystals may be the source of the burning and inflammation. The Dumb Cane originated in Brazil and is of the same family as the Philodendron. Many plants that belong to the Philodendron family contain calcium oxalate crystals in their sap.

Why We Cannot Underestimate The Benefits Colon Cleanse In Our Life

By Olivia Cross

Cleaning your large intestines reduces the chances of getting colon cancer. The benefits colon cleanse are many and gives a healthy lifestyle. When we clean, our digestive system food absorption will be very efficient. It is because cleaning the large intestines helps remove the food waste products that are sluggish in the large intestine preventing nutrient absorption.

The large intestine cleaning has helped people with chronic constipation complications. These are people who have a very sluggish flow of food waste products out the body. When you hold these waste products long in the body, we suffer the risk of the toxins in the waste being absorbed into the bloodstream. The toxins will as a result cause irritation and other illnesses to us.

Many of the individuals who undergo the cleaning of the large intestines regularly will have better body energy. It is because toxins prevent proper blood circulation; it hampers sound sleep and depletes the energy reserves. When we do not detoxify, we run the risk of, not absorbing nutrients in our blood stream. If we want to improve the absorption of vitamins, mineral salts and other nutrients in the blood, we must clean our colon regularly.

Lack of concentration in people is mainly because of bad eating habits and improper nutrient absorption. It is because we have accumulated a lot of toxins in the body hence our brain cannot focus well. The remedy this lack of concentration is cleaning the colon and eating healthy foods. The results will be positive, and we will become active at work.

Our lifestyles in this generation demand that we check our weight so that we do not suffer lifestyle disease. If you want to control and monitor your weight do a large intestine cleanse as you work out, and you will see very positive results in your health. You will prevent large intestine cancer and remove every waste that is stagnant in your digestive system.

Many experts say that cleaning your digestive system will make you more fertility. How is this possible? When you have a clean digestive system, nutrients are better absorbed into your body and as a result you will not have weight complications. Weight is one of the biggest causes of infertility.

Cleaning our large intestines also helps in maintaining the pH balance in our blood. Foods rich in proteins are always acidic and can destabilize the pH of the body tissues.

For you to have a focused and a better life you must improve your well-being by working on your internal cleaning systems. Anytime when we are clean from the inside, we will have a healthy self-esteem and prevent many diseases. Visit a colon specialist regularly to seek advice and direction how to clean your large intestines.

Finally, we become what we eat. However, when we always ensure that the food that gets in the body through the mouth also gets out from the anus as waste products quickly. We will have a healthy life and become productive each and every time. Anytime we realize our skin becomes itchy at times it might be because of toxin accumulation in the body. A large intestine cleanse will help us live a healthy life.

Energy Up!

by Beth

Young Italian Girl Resting by Paul Cezanne

According to the Mayo Clinic nearly everyone is overtired or overworked from time to time. Unrelenting fatigue is a whole different matter. When fatigue lasts longer, is more profound, and isn't relieved by rest, it’s a sure sign that you need to see a medical professional. Temporary fatigue, on the other hand, usually has an identifiable cause and a likely remedy. What are some likely causes? Here’s their suggested list: 

• Use of alcohol or drugs 
• Excess physical activity 
• Jet lag 
• Lack of physical activity 
• Lack of sleep 
• Medications, such as antihistamines, cough medicines 
• Unhealthy eating habits 

To the Mayo Clinic’s list I would add one more: dealing with energy draining, stressful situations like: personal relationships, chronic physical conditions, mental/emotional difficulties, finances, dealing with difficult people, and others (fill in the blank with your own). 

I, myself, am coming out of a period of temporary fatigue. In other words I was experiencing a couch potato, empty vessel, sloth-like, lack of energy. Temporary fatigue typically hits me after a long period of “fast forward” activity, and looking back over the past two months, I can pinpoint the causes. If I’m brutally honest they are: 

1. Lack of sleep. Thankfully not insomnia, but just staying up late and hanging out past my optimal bedtime of 10:30 p.m. 
2. Unhealthy eating habits. Too many carbs, mostly in the form of bread. It’s my go-to comfort food but overeating it is clearly a factor in my personal fatigue formula. 
3. Excess activity; The biggest piece of this was preparing for and delivering an 8-hour long workshop on a new topic in addition to the holidays and my other teaching, volunteer, and domestic responsibilities. 

Albert Einstein said, “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” Right on, Albert! So that means phrases like “lack of energy” or “I have no energy” are not entirely accurate. We do have energy but sometimes there can be a need to change its form from a shortage into a surplus. In other words, we need to find ways to “light our fire” or “get the lead out,” and bring our energy up. Here are two ways to accomplish that goal. 

1. Take a Day Off 

Why do I recommend taking a rest day? Here’s my reasoning: Rest days are written into training plans for athletes, even those training for the Olympics, to allow the body to recuperate. You can literally take the day off from yoga practice or take a just break from active yoga practice. To take a day off completely, use your practice time to hang out, rest, relax, catch up on your reading, or do nothing. If you’d like to use your yoga practice as a way to rest, practice your favorite restorative yoga poses and/or techniques (see Restorative Yoga by Nina). 

2. Converting Energy From Shortage to Surplus 

Sometimes, we need a technique or two to get our energy up in order to function until that precious day off can get scheduled. To use your yoga practice as a change agent, you do not necessarily have to change what you do, just change how you do it. Practice your postures in a way that creates heat, and encourages feelings of stimulation, intention, and intensity. But keep the following advice in mind: 

1. Be sure to warm up first. 
2. Focus on the feeling of moving purposefully between postures. 
3. Focus more on your inhalations. 
4. Move with strength, speed, determination, and intensity. 
5. Build towards a longer, stronger practice that is within your capability. 

Here’s a technique you may not be familiar with: The Breath of Joy. It’s typically done in a standing position but is easily modified for sitting in a chair. It’s from the Kripalu Yoga tradition and the instructions below are from a Yoga International article by Amy Weintraub The Breath of Joy (Amy is the author of Yoga for Depression, founder of the LifeForce Yoga Healing Institute, and a leader in the field of yoga and mental health). 

Caution: This practice may not be appropriate for those with high blood pressure or who suffer from eye or head injuries. 

The purpose of The Breath of Joy is to awaken the whole system, increasing oxygen levels in the bloodstream, temporarily stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, and focusing the mind. Just what I need to get my energy up! Here are Amy’s instructions: 

“To practice Breath of Joy, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and parallel, knees slightly bent.

1. Inhale one-third of your lung capacity and swing your arms up in front of your body, bringing them parallel to each other at shoulder level, with palms facing the ceiling. 

2. Continue inhaling to two-thirds capacity and stretch your arms out to the side like wings to shoulder level. 

3. Inhale to full capacity and swing your arms parallel and over your head, palms facing each other. 

4. Open your mouth and exhale completely with an audible ha, bending the knees more deeply as you sink into a standing squat and swing your arms down and back behind you like a diver. 

Repeat up to nine times. Don’t force or strain the body or breath; simply be absorbed by the peacefully stimulating rhythm. Return to standing. Close your eyes and experience the effects. Notice how quickly your heart beats; feel the sensations in your face and arms, and the tingling in the palms of your hands."

Some examples of pranayama and mudra practices you might try are: Kapalabhati breath, (see Stimulating Breath Practices We Recommend or Vittam mudra from Mudras for Healing and Transformation by Joseph and Lilian LePage. Vittam mudra helps to establish the free flow of vital energy. 

Instructions for Practicing Vittam Mudra

1. Sit with your spine comfortably aligned. 
2. Soften your chest and shoulders. 
3. Close your eyes or keep them slightly open and gaze down at the floor. 
4. Hold your hands cupped in front of your lower abdomen with palms facing each other about twelve inches apart. 
5. Allow your hands to naturally part away from each other on the inhalation and rest gently back toward each other on the exhalation. 
6. Repeat for 5 to 10 long, deep breaths or more, as long as you are comfortable.

Our energetic needs are like fingerprints; no two people are alike. These techniques work for me, which is why I am sharing them. Will they work for you? Try them out and see.

The Biggest Problems With The Hypothyroid Diet Or Any Diet

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski

A hypothyroid diet is not like any other kind you may find. If fact, there are several things about it that make it positively unique. Also, each person that assumes this kind of eating has unique needs to consider.

I have an acronym for the word diet, which is -- Deliberately, Identified, as an Eating, Trend. Diets are eating trends, plain and simple. In fact, if you listen carefully to someone who's dieting they will tell you they are 'going on' a diet. If you 'go on' a diet, you usually 'go off' it at some point. Hence, eating trend.

Your results using the hypothyroid diet will be the same as the results you've experienced with all diets if your approach is the same.

People that suffer from hypothyroidism or overactive thyroid are not likely to find any miracle cures. This is a chronic condition that could take some time to improve. However, hypothyroidism can be cured in some cases but it will not come from changing what you eat for thirty days. It is a more complex issue than dieting for a while and then you are completely done with it. You need to enter this with the right kind of mindset.

Your mindset should be similar to this..."I need to make some permanent changes in my life if I'm going to overcome this thing that has disrupted my life."

Most people have heard the phrase, "diets must include lifestyle changes". This concept is even more important when it comes to hypothyroidism.

Changing your lifestyle will involve a few sacrifices, and it will not be as simple as most people think. Yet, you will notice many health benefits from your efforts. It is best thought of as an exciting adventure that allows you to journey into areas of the mind and body that you have never been before.

Successful diets and mindset are intricately intertwined. Begin a new regime with the proper mindset and half the work is already done. If you have unrealistic expectations like easy weight loss with no effort, you are doomed to fail.

To make permanent changes in eating and living you must first change the way that you think.

It is important to consider the lifestyle changes you need. However, it is far more important to consider the mindset required in order to succeed.

Altering the way you eat will not be enough to cure hypothyroidism. Yet, you can make some lifestyle changes along with a good hypothyroid diet, and it can bring positive long term results.
