This yoga teacher I like is ex college football player who got into yoga bc he has the same messed up back I do (shredded lumbar spine discs)

He told me to get into toe spacers 
Tried them yday 
Was like “I don’t get it” until ~30min in when I ripped them off bc ow

tried them but then realized same one size fits, bit of fad and there’s a better way: figured gait/posture corrections, did 10min daily walk/exercise for 3-4 months. much better now. oh also throw away tight socks and toes/feet crushing shoes eg nike metcons. very happy with xero’s toe box. tyr for olympic lifts

here’s a video my trainer made which helped me initially. then i went deep into gait

i know re: barefoot 😞 my latest solution is to carry my own thin yoga mat to cover the squat area and sanitize upon exit

Ngl I don’t like when people go barefoot at the gym but I get why you do it, there’s a lot of overlap between what you’re doing and what I have been working on wrt healing and protecting my back
