Workshop 03 · Kenny Kam · 4 Polestar CECs

From Arches to Alignment

Wed 14 Oct · 2–6pm · 4 hours

When your foot arches lack optimal support, your hips can end up twisting out of place just to keep you balanced.

As the arches lose their lift or lock up, that instability tends to spiral straight up the legs — pulling the hip joints off-centre and leaving the hips feeling habitually overworked. Kenny takes you from the ground up, on the Reformer, so you can trace what you see at the hip back to what is happening at the foot.

What you will take away

Assess your base — discover how your arches shape ankle, knee, and hip alignment.

Ease tightness and build power — release stiff plantar fascia while activating key hip stabilisers.

Move with ease — integrate feet and hips during movement to make every exercise feel lighter.

Master foot articulation — targeted drills to improve structural mobility and foot control.
