Pain in the Feet from Yoga?
Question 2: I've been practicing yoga for about 8 months now and have noticed that I have pain in the balls of my feet when I do a standing series (mainly in crescent lunge or warrior poses). Its gotten to the point that I can't stay in a pose because of the pain. Is there anything I can do to ease it?
Answer 2: I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing discomfort. What is the quality of the discomfort? If it's cramping up or a tightness, you may want to double check your foundation and where the weight is distributed, as shown above. Focusing on the feet is also another way to deepen your practice because it requires the student to hone in on subtleties. A tiny movement or shift in weight on the feet can impact the entire practice. If, however, you're feeling any kind of sharp pain then my advice would be to see a doctor. I hope this is helpful!!
