Ankles All Day: A Lower Leg Tune Up

Ankle sprains are common across both active and inactive folks. Up to 70% of people who have formerly sprained their ankles may develop residual physical disability, which may include chronic ankle instability. The myofascial tissues of the lower leg deserve a regular amount of rolling “leg work” in order to address the challenges of soft tissue imbalances. This class provides much kneaded rollouts to help your ankles and calves to be at their best so that your feet and ankles are better able to carry their load. Benefits: Shin splints, ankle mobility, squat depth, ease of walking.

After doing the Ankles All Day: A Lower Leg Tune Up class, we recommend you also do the following classes from the Library:

• Unleash Your Mat: More Whole-Body Yoga Mat Exercises(formerly Mat Matness, Part 2
• Tree Pose – Rooted from the Ground Up

Both these class pairings offer fun ways to challenge your single leg balance and stability. They also round out your week by adding more of your body’s parts into the movement mix.

In this series of MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – The Logical/Mythological Series, Jill focuses on common myths and misperceptions of practice that still persist in yoga and movement classrooms today. Each class tackles a myth that unrolls like a sticky mat when you filter it through anatomy, kinesiology and physiology. Join Jill on this fun myth-busting journey that also translates into other popular movement forms including pilates, CrossFit and Instagram Inspo. Each class will attempt to unpack a myth from a historical/contextual lens and take you through Tune Up Fitness movement practices that help your body to be a lab of curiosity and discovery.
