Seven plantar case
On Tuesday I did the Seven Headstands and the poses around it. Today I did some asanas from VK and Third Series. Yesterday I did not practice because of the late evening out to dinner with colleagues. I feel the effects of not practicing in that I feel mildly paranoid when I don't. It's one reason that keeps me practicing - doing any practice- good or bad. Yesterday I woke up with symptoms of plantar fascitiis. I didn't know what it was but felt that was the condition. After reading about it in the Internet (including one site that I reached by googling "plantar fascitiis and yoga" I came to understand that the cause was probably that the heavy blankets I use when sleeping to stay warm lay heavy on the feet. If they keep dorsiflexed all night, it causes strain on the tendons in the heel. Since I'm flat footed, the situation could be exacerbated. There are some warm up exercises you can do when waking up to not disturb the foot. In my case it's my glorious stubborn left foot that's talking.
