Reflexology

A student gifted me this book recently. She said she had a new appreciation for working on her feet after what she has learned from me. What I love about the practice of yoga is not mastering some challenging pose, but having this new awareness and appreciation of ourselves as a whole being working in unison.

Reflexology is based on the concept of pressure maps, which resemble the shape of a human body and are found on the feet. Every part of the body has a corresponding relex location on the foot.

There are more than 7,000 nerve endings in each foot! Messages travel through these nerve pathways to corresponding parts of the body.

Working on the feet can break down blockages and congestion that occur around nerve endings in order to experience relief.
