I would like to improve my foot point, because currently it doesn't look as good as I see on some performers, and I also tend to forget about it mid-trick and break it. Any stretches, exercises and tips are very welcome!

i found by accident that sitting on my feet with my heels on really stretched my ankles in a good archy foot point way. (does that make any sense?) i learned one where you have your knees on a foam block, you're basically kneeling on a foam block, sit down and kinda lean back. hard to get a visual, i'm hella camera shy or i'd make you a vid of what i'm talking about. alethea austin has a great foot stretch in her 'stretching for pole' dvd if you access to that. good luck!🌸

I have exercises, and stretches to help develop the feet and teach you how to point to foot!

@GingerJen, I'm camera shy as well so I know where you're coming from. But I think I saw something just like you describe in a Yoga exercise video, so I got my visuals :) thanks for the suggestion. @Veena, thanks for the detailed list of lessons. I still don't have a subscription, so I'll be bookmarking this for future reference!
