(A 3-day workshop)

If today, you were to page through any random exercise, yoga, running, or physiotherapy magazine, you would stand a good chance of finding expert tips on how to relieve the pain in your heels, soothe the aching in your metatarsal joints, raise your fallen arches, or otherwise develop less burdensome and more aesthetically pleasing feet.  Yet if, hoping to actually improve the functioning of your feet, you were to follow the tips, you would likely be in for a disappointment.  This is because rapid-fire information of this nature normally emerges from a reductionist paradigm that views the human body as a machine, learning as a mechanical “input-output” protocol, and individual movement as divorced from not only cultural influence, but the possibility of sensing, feeling, and even thinking on a deeper level.
