Yoga Strong

Woby Lang, a foot health enthusiast and footwear designer, joins us to
discuss the importance of barefoot movement, the relationship between foot health and longevity, and the impact of footwear on our overall well-being.
We explore topies like the culture and history of shoes and how modern footwear has led to foot problems and misalignment; the need to restore foot function and mobility through barefoot movement and proper footwear; and the role of movement and play in maintaining a healthy body.
Woby also shares his journey of designing barefoot shoes and the benefits they offer. I learned so much during this conversation!
