1. Images:  Two stuck in my mind over the last several years. A few years ago, while taking vinyasa yoga with instructor Jodi Shimabukuro, I saw something that struck me immediately. In demonstrating a seated twist pose, Jodi placed one foot flat on the floor. In doing so, she placed each toe deliberately and independently on the floor. I was amazed at the control she had over each part of her foot, realizing that I couldn’t control my own foot that way. I never forgot that image, and I could never get rid of the nagging idea that my feet, the very parts that dictate much of how the rest of my body responds to the ground, were locked up. I wondered how flexible, strong feet might affect the rest of my movement.
