Even
if you’re yoga newbie who’s still learning their first steps, you’re probably
aware this activity is usually practiced barefoot. We’re here to help you
explore ups and down of this common practice.
Better
Stability
Practicing
yoga requires a lot of stability and balance, and proper alignment of your feet
is essential for maintaining both. Feet are the foundation of many yoga poses and
taking your shoes off is the best way to do them the right way.
Your feet can benefit a lot from being in constant touch with natural surfaces during yoga classes. Smallest muscles get engaged during this routine, and they’re never engaged in the same way when you’re wearing socks and shoes.
Despite
its many benefits, there are situations when you should avoid doing yoga
barefoot. If you have a serious injury or simply find the whole thing
uncomfortable, there’s nothing wrong about wearing socks or special shoes, but
you should give barefoot yoga a try at least once.
