Big Toe / Stretch down the middle

I'm not sure what I did but when doing t he standing I felt some kind of difference in the big toe. There was a feeling like something was pulling from the bottom of the big toe up and around back towards the foot as if the big toe was being lifted up a tiny bit inside. Then I felt a big stretch down the front of the U, when I would breath I could feel the big stretch. I took a quick break after not too long but then when I went back to the standing I didn't feel the toe or the big stretch again. 

Walking out/Plankng and front of the U

I did the walking out/planking exercise. I forget the correct term. After I went back to the standing meditation when I would do the pitcher breath it felt like the top front of the U was getting a big stretch even though I was trying to breathe and fill up the pitcher from the bottom. Is this part of what is supposed to happen as a result of the planking? I also noticed that the toes felt different. I didn't feel the pull underneath the feet like I felt the first time when we practiced this but maybe the toes feeling is related.

Breaking fascia crosslinks

We have talked about this before where I have had some shoulder pain/discomfort/tension whatever. And it has sort of come and gone and come again. I'm noticing now that it's been moving each time going from the center outwards, now I feel some sensations near the outer part of the shoulder blade. The questions is, is this just the way it works when we are breaking these fascia cross links that have developed over time? Or is it not the fascia cross links but this is just how this type of practice works through fixing parts of the body?
