You wake up in the morning, sit up and stretch, ready to start your day. But when you swing out of bed and hit the floor, you feet say, “No way!” They’re stiff and painful, and you can’t walk without hobbling. What gives? You could be suffering from plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the plantar fascia. While this condition is painful, yoga offers some nice plantar fasciitis stretches to help you recover.
What is plantar fasciitis?
Your feet have thick bands of tissue that run along the sole, connecting your heel bone to the toes. These bands, the plantar fascia, are a part of the intricate anatomy of the foot that assists the ligaments and the muscles in maintaining the arches at the sole of the foot.

A magnitude 3.9 earthquake rattled the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday evening, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake’s epicenter was in San Lorenzo, an East Bay community in Alameda County 13 miles (20.92 kilometers) south of Oakland, according to the geological survey. The quake occurred at 6:29 p.m.
The quake was initially rated a 4.2 but was downgraded to 4.0 and then 3.9. The initial epicenter was reported as Ashland, near San Lorenzo, but the geological survey later also revised that.
Communities south of San Francisco across the bay from San Lorenzo felt the quake.
