1. 1. 5 Reasons to Try Rope Wall Yoga
2. 2. The rope wall can bring a fresh perspective to your understanding of the asanas, from backbends to forward bends, twists or inversions. One definition of yoga is the harnessing of ones physical and mental energies in order to revitalize one. The actual physical harness of the ropes in their many configurations will help you direct your body and mind toward a state of equanimity and balance. Exciting way to practice yoga
3. 3. The body is safely supported by the traction of the ropes, stretching and strengthening those hard to reach areas of the spine. Even Cobra Pose becomes a deeper backbend with aid of the ropes, allowing for a greater opening of the chest and an intense release of the shoulders. Reach places where your regular practice cannot take you.
4. 4. Because the body is tethered by the ropes and anchored with the feet, a pose like Downward Facing Dog can be practiced for a longer period of time. This gives the practitioner an opportunity to refine their breathing and go deeper into the experience of asana. Increased circulation to the concave curvature of the lower back is extremely beneficial to all students, especially those with hypnosis, an abnormal over-rounding of the spine. Reap the benefits of sustained asana
5. 5. There is increased mobility in the joints as the body is allowed to move beyond the range of its everyday motions. The momentum which is created as you swing forward into Cobra Pose, then back to Upward Facing Forward Fold (Urdhva Mukha Paschimottanasana), brings agility and lightness while also cultivating focus and concentration. Anchor your pose and expand your movement.
6. 6. After you feel the immediate results, you will want to get back to the wall once, maybe even twice a week. Your bound to leave the studio walking taller and feeling more supple in your spine. Youre bound to get hooked!
