Ankle and Foot Free Dynamic Yoga Flow (vinyasa yoga for ankle injury or plantar fasciitis)

An ankle or foot injury doesn't mean you can't enjoy dynamic, flowing vinyasa yoga! In this flow we get a total body yoga workout without ever putting weight in the ankles or feet. We explore...

✅ A total body workout with flowing movements
✅ Arm and shoulder strengthening and toning
✅ Intense core and ab work
✅ Mobilise the hips and spine
✅ Deep release stretches for the hips
✅ Suitable for all levels, with lots of options

The flow is moderate in intensity, manageable if you're newer to yoga, but equally challenging enough if you are an experienced practitioner.

In love and healing,
James 🐉 💜

That made feel SO much better - spraining an ankle is depressing and annoying at best, so thanks for creating such a feel-good flow! Big smiles all round 🌟☺️

Thank you. Your warmth as a teacher is such a great trait. My foot appreciates you much.

Thank you, James. It is a rare thing to find yoga classes that are considering people with foot injuries. Also you give so much positive energy in each of your classes. Thank you very much!

I can always count on you for yoga when I have random injuries :)

[charlottenewman]

Thank you. I've discovered your channel because of a stress fracture in my foot. Some more feet free yoga content would be amazing. Thank you so much

Haven't done yoga for years but found this after foot injured ❤thank you this was wonderful

[sashaboon]

The most adorable practice, many thanks. I broke my leg a month ago and have felt fragile ever since. Your soothing yet strong well timed guidance has been medicine.

[shardavanderhelm]

You're a great teacher with a very warm and fun personality 🔥

Thank you so much, your footfree practices really helped through the last month after a foot surgery, I have three more weeks to go without putting weight on the foot and would be overwhelmingly happy to find a third foot/ankle free class. Or suggestion of another suitable class by you🙏🏼🌟

This was the perfect workout for me right now. Thank you so much, James! Videos specifically for ankle injuries are much appreciated.

After a bad ankle break that required surgery and three plates, I found your workout in desperation. I was five days post-surgery, and every part of my body was sore, especially my hip on the injured leg. I'm now two weeks out from surgery and do your workout nearly every morning. I look forward to it, and it empowers and gives me hope, which can be hard to maintain when you're looking at 10-12 weeks non-weight bearing. I also find that the workout gets the blood flowing in my injured foot in a good way and relieves pain for a couple of hours after. Thank you for creating this!

Thanks so much, James. I was doing your classes a couple of years ago when I had a shoulder injury, and now I'm back with an ankle injury. Your classes are always such a delight!

[odilearditi]

Thank you so much for thse foot free practices ! I Will definitely continue practising with you even after Ican walk on my two legs.Wish there were more foot free practices ! From France with love❤❤

[sashaboon]

Hi James. Would love some more ankle free practices to keep me going until i am weight baring again ❤

[chattymaddie]

Hi James - I got into yoga after a nasty battle with covid and it really helped my mind and body recover after losing so much muscle (and losing so much sanity, if we're being honest). I'm on Week 7 with a foot tendon injury and I had such an emotional breakdown today. It has been so difficult to watch my body fall apart again after fighting so hard to bounce back. I found your video about an hour after my cry and it gave me a bit of hope that I can climb that mountain again. Thank you <3

Post foot surgery, 4 long weeks without exercise, 8 to go. Stiffening up and getting lazier by the day. So glad to find this video. It's going to be my morning routine for the time being. Thanks!

[erinmcflynn]

THANK YOU so much for this practice…I sprained my ankle and never knew there was foot free yoga 🤩 I look forward to trying more with you…thanks again 💜🙏🥰😍

[alexcarabine]

Thank you so much! Your injury care videos are always a life saver, and your teaching style is so fun. Thanks again ✨

[hannahaitken]

aw this was lovely! I loved what you said at the end about not letting an injury take away the practice and adapting, so glad I found this!

[annefuuu]

Thank you so much for showing what is possible in times where I thought I wasn‘t able to do a lot of the things I love. Your message of doing things differently and exploring even more brought me so much joy!
