Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 I don't personally know but what I have heard from reliable nutritionists is that those sensations could indicate the need of certain minerals. When my clients experience those cramps, after the initial shock of it has passed I have them go into any pose that requires parallel foot work (prasarita padottanasana being my favorite). For one client in particular her foot cramping is related to the tightness in her hip and a preparation of rajakapotasana relieves it every time. It helps to know what poses are triggering it. Hope that at least points you in the right direction!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 I have experienced this as well, and the reason for my foot cramping is dehydration. try drinking tons and tons of water before your practice as well as after and see if it helps. --- hairdmc614 wrote: > All is coming!!! have you spoke with your teacher > about this, maybe you can > modify the pose until the foot becomes stronger or > more flexilbe!!! > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been > removed] > > > Mail Plus - Powerful.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Two different people recommended water and salt which reminds me that they go together. You need salt to retain water. I'm sure that was the mineral I was thinking of. You may want to check with a nutritionalist and have your circadian rhythms checked. That will tell you specifically what salts your body is low in. Mine was low in sodium chloride and one other that I don't remember. I took a specified amount for a very limited time (like two weeks) and then re-tested. After that the body has been able to maintain its own balance. philjone wrote:Quoting "obrocta <danobrocta" <danobrocta: > <html><body> > > > <tt> > I experience foot cramping in various poses, at various times<BR> > throughout the primary series...Does anyone have any suggestions or<BR> > theories? <BR> > <BR> > <BR> > </tt> > > > <br> > <tt> > <BR> > ashtanga yoga<BR> > <BR> > </tt> > <br> > > <br> > <tt><a > href=""> Terms of Service</a>.</tt> > </br> > > </body></html> > > eat salt a bit more ,dont worry it will go ---------------- This mail sent through SE Net Webmail http://webmail.senet.com.au ashtanga yoga Mail Plus - Powerful.
