During the marvelous intensive that we enjoyed with Diana Cruz earlier this month, she introduced us to exercises that can help strengthen and stretch our feet, prevent bunions from developing, and even cure existent bunions. I felt like we could benefit enormously from the chance to do these exercises on a regular basis, and deepen our understanding of how to take care of our feet.

Many of you expressed your enthusiasm for this concept, and so it’s going to happen.

Workshops will take place:

4 Thursdays, October 16 - November 6
7-7:45 pm Eastern Time

It’s recommended that you attend class synchronously, if possible. But we will also offer the option to receive a link to the class recording (you’ll receive it one day later). The recording will only be available until the following class.

After thinking through the costs and work involved, it’s going to make more sense for us to offer the series for a single price. The cost is $80. If the cost is a problem, you are welcome to pay sliding scale.
