TensionTo counteract years of tension, some preliminary exercises can help your feet come alive and respond more readily to the demands of standing poses. 1. One good way to restore proper tone to the sole of the foot is to step onto a tennis ball. After waking up your feet with the tennis ball, it’s a good idea to stretch both the sole and the top of the foot. 2. A simple way to stretch the underside of the foot is to kneel with the toes turned under. 3. To stretch the top of the foot, Virasana (Hero Pose) is invaluable.
