I'm a Yoga Instructor, and These 5 Stretches Relieved My Plantar Fasciitis Pain From Running

Purpose of this stretch: Many of my yoga students are runners, so I always include Toe Breaker pose in the sequencing. It's the ultimate stretch for the arches of the feet, but also stretches the front of the thighs. This stretch is intense!

• Kneel on the floor. Tuck your toes toward your knees. Stay here if this is enough of a stretch, or if you want to go deeper, slowly lower your pelvis to sit on your heels.
• Hold this stretch for five breaths, leaning the torso back if you want to intensify the stretch. Don't forget to breathe!
