On the way of yoga, you either focus on yoga or focus on doing yoga asanas
. 
The foundation is very important
. 
The foundation is the position where the body contacts the ground
. 
In the standing pose, the position in contact with the ground is the foot
.
As we all know, the area is very small
.
When doing the standing balance pose, it is difficult to balance and the center of gravity is unstable
.
Here, the weight distribution on the feet is very important
.
So, how should the weight of the body be distributed on the feet? Let’s take a look at the anatomy of the sole of the foot: there are three arches on the sole of the foot, not one! They are medial longitudinal arch, lateral longitudinal arch and transverse arch
.
These three arches play an important role: flexibility, cushioning and weight distribution
.
To practice yoga, you should understand that the structure and function of these three arches are closely related to the positive position of the foundation and posture
.

.
The medial longitudinal arch is on the inner side of the foot and the connecting line from the big toe to the arch of the foot
.
This arch doesn’t touch the ground and plays an important role when the body is bearing weight
.
2
.
The lateral longitudinal arch is on the outside of the foot, from the small toe to the outside of the heel
.
This arch can touch the ground and give the body a push
.

.
Transverse arch this arch is the connecting line between the inside and outside of the forefoot, a point below the foot ball
.
In standing pose, keep 3 arches activated
.
When these arches are activated rather than collapsed, the arches become strong and the pose becomes stable
.
How the weight is distributed on the sole of the foot: 3 (or 4) force points on the sole of the foot: the key to maintaining the starting of the arch of the foot is the three force points on the sole of the foot: the middle of the heel, the big foot ball and the small foot ball
.
In yoga class, some teachers will say that there are four points, which is to divide the heel into two points on the outside and inside of the heel
.
Today, let’s talk about three points
.
How to distribute weight: in the standing pose, a basic principle is to put half of the weight on the heel
.
The other half is in the big foot ball and the small foot ball
.
So, make sure your feet are strong and flexible enough to spread out all the corners and take root hard, so as to maintain the right position above your body
