Yogi Toe Lock

© Barry Stone
Definition: Though it sounds like yoga's version of thumb screws, yogi toe lock is just a simple way of taking hold of the toes in poses where that is necessary. You bring the first two fingers under the big toe while bringing the thumb on top of the same toe, and you should have a pretty good grip. Stretch away!
Examples:
Take yogi toe lock and come into a standing forward bend.
