In this class be prepared to put your foot in it, literally. Your foot and ankle are going to go through some gruelling work to improve inversion, mid foot mobility and ankle dorsiflexion. If you have ever rolled your ankle (99.9% of us), then this class will be super helpful for you. Lack of rotational work (inversion/eversion) during rehab from an ankle injury is the most common reason I see in people with stiff or "shitty" ankles. But you don't have to put up with that, you just need to give them so tough love with these inversion PAILsRAILs and hovers. We also go through some midfoot work (shoes and insoles are DIVILS for removing the natural pronation and supination of our feet over time which really restrict our body's ability to "feel" the ground and our ankle's ability to move). And finally, we go through some ankle dorsiflexion work, this is often where people feel most notably restricted in their ankles and is super important for any kind of squatting motion. And then theres just 10 minutes at the end of full body work to get stuck in to!
