I cannot move my big toes individually!! it’s like my brain and my big toe muscle is not connected. No matter how much I stare at it.
Excellent, clear and concise. Thanks.
I need to find a playlist of her stability videos, she is great!
So I can find a ton of videos online about all of these "raise your big toe by itself etc etc" but I can't find a single video that instructs me on HOW to get to this stage when I cannot presently raise my big toe all by itself without toes 2-5 coming along as well. Surely there are therapists who encounter people who can't move their toes independently. What do we do?
I been looking in to new shoes for my little one because of this
Fascinating and unlike others I've just watched, very detailed, concise, informative. Beth Lewis is a good teacher. Thank you for this!
I got the how part, but wheres the why part?
Thanks a bundle!
Literally me:

This is a common exercise for ballet dancers to build & maintain strength for pointe.
Yes! I love foot focused work!
Request: Toe Yoga with Rapunzel. From MMD?
What are thé benefits, please ???
I had GBS 6 year ago and still have neuropathy in legs and feet. I am now 67 and want to work on better awareness of my feet and toe mobility. Thanks for this.
Mind. Blown.
I wish the whites would stop attaching the word 'yoga' to any damn thing they please.
What happened to everyone oughta do 10 pull ups in their sleep🤭
What is the “ tripod” you we’re talking about? I like your videos but I feel like I don’t understand some of your terminology do if you explain it for people like I would appreciate it
Damn shes huge! you can see why she loves Arnold..
That is actually challenging.
pretty cool, thanks!
Thank you for these great segments
What is the benefit of doing this?
Very cool! It is yoga for the feet! Yoga teaches how to use the toes and the feet keeping them in proper alignment with the floor. All standing yoga poses require proper alignment of the feet before you can build the pose. So many people have no awareness of their feet. Great video.
I can’t put my big toe down on its own. Yikes. Not at all 🤔
A B duction = abduction, correct?
Superb exercise and teaching but crass to call it yoga. As a professional acupuncturist/tuina/qigong practitioner with decades of yoga expertise due to my South Asian Indian heritage I can explain in detail why it works, physiologically, from each of these these modalities/paradigms, as well as if confining it only to musculoskeletal dynamism – all have different specifics and correlations between them. Better to teach and call it as it is and reference yoga correlations you might think are relevant. As it stands it goes against the ethos of acurate information, as I understand this site elsewhere requires. It's a shame to lose credibility. I am struggling between liking this and cringing so would not share or recommend in its current form. I do still thank you since I trust your good intention.
is there a way to reverse toe deformations from ill-fitting footwear?
Can you explain more about the benefits of this exercise. Thank you
Toga toga toga! Seriously, though, great instruction.
But WHY??
Great video
The first pose is called Market-facing Little Piggy
Spot on. I’ve been doing Iyengar yoga and she’s got it perfectly in line with them. Including raising all up, putting the big toes down, then all of them. Of course we don’t use that green gum between the toes … irritating though, the way she reaches her toes with so much comfort!
It's TOEGA
Can we just call it what it is? Toe PT.
Don't. That's how. Man that was easy 😊
Feldenkrais?
Interesting exercise. But it is NOT yoga.
