Toe-Ga (Toe Yoga)

Toe Yoga, or as I like to call it for short, Toe-Ga, is really not a formal practice. There aren’t any books, or professional teachers (yet) dictating the detailed mechanics of these exercises. Which makes them a whole lot more accessible and easier to learn (make them up as you go), for the general population. Below I will list a few of the common exercises people do.
Oh, by the way, take off your shoes first, and if practical your socks too.
The Toe Wiggle
This is probably the most free-form of the Toe-Ga exercises. It really isn’t so much of a “wiggle”, as it is a slow, gentle flexing of the toes.
The Towel Pick-Up
This one is good, if you want a date with a dish towel. Just lay the dish towel on the floor, and practice picking it up with your toes.
The Alphabet
It probably doesn’t really matter which alphabet you use, but the idea is to spell out each letter, or symbol, with the toes. Advanced Toe-Ga enthusiasts can also do the numbers, count as high as you like.
Geometry
Similar to the Alphabet, but use squares, rectangles, elipses, eccentric circles, cones, etc..
