Re: Tips for sitting seiza?

So, the tops of your feet? Mine tend to cramp up if I don't stretch them out a bit. My wife taught me some pointe stretches from ballet (shut up, they work). Mostly the ones I need just involve pointing the toes to stretch out that part of the foot. Plus I'll set in seiza a bit before class to make sure they're not going to go nuts on me when we bow in. That would be embarrassing.

But even with that, I still tend to pull my right foot in a good bit or I just can't stay in that postion for long.
No need for the comment "shut up, they work. I have nothing but respect for the ballet. They have some of the best body mechanic training in the world. Thanks for the tips.
