I am 37 year male and a national level rifle shooter. During my practice session I find it difficult to balance my feet to minimize my body movement. This is due to my flat feet which I need to correct. Please suggest me what can I do?

Hi lybrate-user, don?t worry Ayurveda & yoga helps you. Here I give you some suggestions. Most flat feet do not cause pain or other problems. Flat feet may be associated with pronation, a leaning inward of the ankle bones toward the center line. Shoes of children who pronate, when placed side by side, will lean towards each other (after they have been worn long enough for the foot position to remodel their shape). Daily practice of Virasana, which stretches the top of the foot and strengthens the arches, is necessary. Virasana for 10 minutes each day before bedtime. During the practice of this wonderful pose, massage the arches of your feet, pressing on the arches as if cultivating an arch with your thumbs. While practicing standing poses, carefully press the big toe mounds and inner heels down into the floor, and powerfully recoil the arches up into the inner ankles. This may be difficult initially, but will eventually build the strength that you need in your arches. Standing poses would help, particularly Uttkatasana with toes lifted off the floor. You could suggest a whole series starting with Tadasana with toes off the floor, then Uttkatasana, then one-legged poses like Vrksasana and Ardha Chandrasana initially and then Virabhadrasana 3, Garudasana, Natarajasana. Some others would be squatting poses like Malasana (just squatting without the hands and the head in the equation) and Pasasana. Actually coming to think of it the first stage of Bakasana (Crane pose) is squatting. Another one would be Bhekasana (Frog pose) even though it is done by lying on one's stomach; the bending of the arches. For more details free to private consult.
