Let’s face it high heel shoes (the higher, the better) make us look elegant, edgy, savvy and sexy. And since their appearance on the shoe scene in the 1950’s, stilettos have been a symbol of status, style, and, of course, sex appeal. However, there is a downside to striking a pose, or strutting your stuff in your favourite 4 or 5 inch high heel shoe: an often less than graceful stride, painful urges to go barefoot, sore backs, knees, feet and heels (plantar facsciitis), bunions, and worst case scenario – a twisted or broken ankle following a stiletto stumble.
In this Feldenkrais bootcamp for high heels workshop, Marion Harris, a Feldenkrais practitioner for over 25 years (not to mention someone who at 78 can still wear 4 inch heels comfortably) will teach participants to move in new, safe and high heel complementary ways. She will also demonstrate exercises to strengthen your legs, feet and ankles to provide more control, stability and endurance. After this workshop you and your Jimmy Choos can have a long term love/love relationship (instead of the more typical love/hate one) gliding gracefully along with style and confidence.
