Bunions and foot re-patterning: A 2-Hour Online Workshop

27th September , 4.00pm

Bunions don't happen overnight they're the slow result of years of movement patterns, footwear, and habitual weight distribution that gradually reshape the structure of the foot. And yet most of us are never taught how our feet actually work, let alone how to work with them once they start to restructure.

This workshop is a deep, hands-on exploration of exactly that. Over two hours, we'll look at the anatomy and mechanics behind bunion formation, why they happen, what's really going on beneath the surface, and why simply "pushing through" or ignoring the discomfort tends to make things worse over time. From there, we move into practical, guided work: targeted exercises using resistance bands, yoga blocks, and myofascial release balls to release tension in the surrounding tissue, rebuild strength in the small stabilising muscles of the foot, and gently encourage better alignment.

This isn't a passive lecture. You'll be actively moving, feeling, and practising throughout, with plenty of space to ask questions, adapt exercises to your own feet, and troubleshoot in real time. Whether your bunions are mild and just starting to bother you, or more established and a daily source of discomfort, you'll come away with a genuine, repeatable home practice not just a list of tips you'll forget by next week.

In this workshop, you will:

  • Understand the anatomical and biomechanical roots of bunion development

  • Learn how footwear, gait, and daily habits contribute to change over time

  • Practise a full sequence of foot repatterning exercises using bands, blocks, and release balls

  • Build strength and mobility in the small muscles that support healthy foot alignment

  • Leave with a clear, sustainable routine you can return to again and again

Who this is for:
Anyone living with bunions whether newly noticed or long standing who wants to understand why they're happening and take an active, informed role in how their feet feel and move going forward. No yoga experience or anatomy knowledge required. Just curiosity, and a willingness to get to know your feet a little better.
