What can I do to ease pain in feet and ankles during or after skating? Yoga for Skaters exercises

This is Video 1 in a series of 4 videos helping skaters (inline and roller) to ease their aches and pains and reduce the risk of injury.

These movements have helped Asha Kirkby (Founder of Skatefresh Skate School) to maintain healthy feet and ankles, especially when done after skating.

Follow along with the instructions in the video and feel the difference in your feet afterwards. Let us know in the comments below how they felt.

Video 2 focusses on Knees and how to strengthen the muscles around the knees to help support the joints. Asha healed chronic knee pains (from over skating) using these kind of yogis stretches and strengthening exercises.
