STEP 4 Squeeze the legs together to engage the adductor group of muscles on the inner thighs and stabilize the pelvis. Extend the toes with the long and short toe extensors. Activate the tibialis anterior muscle at the fronts of the lower legs to dorsiflex the ankles, bringing the soles of the feet toward parallel to the floor. Evert the ankles by contracting the peronei on the outsides of the lower legs, and then engage the tibialis posterior muscles to balance this with an inversion force. These co-activations stabilize the bones of the lower legs, ankles, and feet.

Opening the soles of the feet relieves tension and stimulates the minor chakras located in this region.
