Focus: Shins and calves, inversion of the ankle joint

This can be done as a stand-alone session, but we recommend the complimentary session Strength and Conditioning: For Feet, Ankles, Calves & Shins, Part II

This session is also part of the Short Course Asana Based Practice to Complement Running (Short Course in 8 Parts).  We recommend working with all the sessions in the course to get an understanding of the subject.

Duration: 41 mins.

Props needed: belt, block, a folded blanket that can be used to cushion the knees, an elevated surface like any chair is optional

The sessions in the 'Strength and Conditioning' category are not asana sessions, and are not based on the Iyengar tradition.  These are drills that I have found to be useful for and compatible with several asanas in general, and also as preparation for specific asanas.
