YogaSandals™ and the Practice of Yoga
Yoga is a psychological, physiological, and spiritual discipline that was born out of the Hindu culture many centuries ago. Centering the mind and spirit, while grounding and balancing the body, are central keys in yoga practice. Yoga students are taught to spread the toes, thus grounding the feet, while doing the standing asanas (yoga positions that promote focus, flexibility and strength). Our YogaSandals™ help train the foot to spread the toes through gentle movement and walking throughout the day. This gentle spacing of the toes aligns the feet with the ankle, the knee, the hip and posture. The toe separation opens up the 26 bones of the feet and helps those bones become mobile, as they were meant to be. The YogaSandals™ increase balance, body alignment, and a sense of grounding while you gracefully and easily move through your everyday life. Some companies sell devices that require you to sit while training your toes to spread. Why sit when you can freely exercise and increase flexibility in your entire foot during daily activities? You can improve your yoga practice, improve your sense of grounding, improve balance, improve body alignment, increase your foot’s strength and mobility simply by wearing these unique sandals.

Please watch the 5 minute video on the home page for a graphic explanation by a trainer of yoga instructions on how the YogaSandals™ promote health and well-being. Peruse the following testimonials on the wonderful combination of yoga practice and YogaSandals™:
I was given a pair of sandals last Christmas. I loved them so much I shared them with my yoga students. In less than a year students have fixed their arthritic feet, bunions and avoided foot operations. The general population of students have reported amazing success in greater foot mobility, resulting in realignment of ankles,knees and hips,correction of bowed legs, tired feet and lightness of step. In case you think I am exageratting,I have put together a short video of my students describing these amazing results. If you would like to speak with these students personally or see the video,please contact me at kairos@uniserve.com

As a Certified Analyst and Therapist, I have been searching for sandals which are ergonomically supportive of my entire body structure without creating havoc and pain between my toes and Voila! The Beech/YogaSandals™.
I was so relieved that finally I had found something that opens and creates the natural space between my toes without creating friction and burning, that at the end of last summer I wore them well into the winter season, until my feet became too cold to continue. Now if only we could have winter shoes like this as well!
Bravo Ben and all the people at Beech Sandals!

As a Yoga teacher I've known about your sandals for a while and
recently sent for a pair. They arrived pronto and it wasn't a moment
too soon! I've been experiencing a kinesiologic imbalance between my
left hip and the bunion on my right foot. This may have resulted from
extensive wearing of my regular thong sandals that caused my foot
muscles to bunch. At any rate, there was a good deal of soreness in
my left hip.
Literally within minutes of wearing your YogaSandals™ for the first
time, the soreness began to diminish and I could feel my foot muscles
begin to open and unclench, especially in the troublesome right foot.
I wear the YogaSandals™ for a while every day and immediately feel
the difference. The longer I will wear them, the faster this
condition will improve.
Thank you for an excellent product!!
Sincerely,
