Tread Lighter: Improving Your Gait [Online Workshop]
Event Information
About this event
Do your feet tire easily when walking in minimal/barefoot shoes? Have you noticed uneven wear patterns on the bottom of your shoes? If yes, your gait pattern may be at fault! Join Sarah DeGrave Movement for an online version of this popular workshop (as usually presented at Pie Footwear) and learn how to stride with strength and balance!
In this workshop we will discuss common movement patterns that may be undermining the health of your feet, knees, and hips, as well as how to start adjusting your gait pattern to take a load off your joints and improve whole-body alignment. Sarah will lead you through exercises designed to lengthen and strengthen the muscles responsible for keeping your gait on track, so come prepared to move.
This clinic is suitable for all levels of fitness and perfect for everyone from the minimal shoe newbie to the barefoot pro. Space is limited to 7 people, so register today!
Can’t make it to this one? Keep your eyes open for future clinics on topics including foot mobility, lower body alignment, and more! Sarah DeGrave is also currently accepting private coaching clients (learn more here).
Note: This is an interactive clinic where we will be doing some light stretching and strengthening exercises, so please dress comfortably and be prepared to move. To get the most out of the exercises, you will want to work barefoot or in socks.
