A yoga teacher with 17 years of experience explains the yogi toe lock: use your peace fingers between the big toe and second toe, thumb on top. It stabilizes your body, not pull you deeper into the pose.
I've been teaching yoga for 17 years, and this is one of the things that everyone does wrong. The yogi toe lock is not meant to pull you deeper into a pose, it's meant to stabilize you. So use your peace fingers and bring them in between your big toe and your second toe. Then take your thumb and put it on top of your big toe. That's the yogi toe lock. Follow for easy, simple yoga tips that everyone can use.
