Rolling your ankle off a curb may lead to a vacation from stilettos, but that doesn't mean you have to give up your yoga practise. In fact certain poses can help heal wounds by relaxing surrounding muscles (which lock to stabilise the injury), so you can maintain your range of motion and strengthen the affected area. These poses from Charles Matkin, a yoga therapist at Matkin Yoga in Manhattan will set you on the mat to recovery.
