In my opinion this is part of the process of removing deep chronic muscular tension from the body. I think it is good to hold that pose and "get into" the cramping and kind of let it work its way on out. This may be looked at as kind of the opposite process of stretching. There may be many areas where this may come up and it is a normal thing that just needs to be worked through. Also this symptom of deep chronic tension is a sign that there is much work to be done in getting the whole body realligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Hi I am new to the list and i am a lurker. I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the foot cramping. While sodium is very important please do not overlook potassium. What i do is i sprinkle morton light salt (66% potassium 33% sodium) on my food.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Have you got flat feet? My feet are flat and I have epxerienced terrible pain in certain postures. My physio told me that I need to strenghten my arches. So now, when I'm waiting for the kettle to boil I stand on my tip toes. The pain has eased but it is still there though. ashtanga yoga, "obrocta <danobrocta@e...>" <danobrocta@e...> wrote: > I experience foot cramping in various poses, at various times > throughout the primary series...Does anyone have any suggestions or > theories?
