Introducing "Off The Wall" Yoga at Spirit of Yoga
Have you ever heard of a Yoga Wall? Spirit of Yoga, an auxiliary classroom of Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), now has one, and it is the second biggest in Arizona. Classes are now offered to students and the general public.
Online, October 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - State of the art Yoga Studio and Yoga Teacher Training Facility Spirit of Yoga (SOY) is introducing its "Off The Wall" Yoga Wall Classes. The Yoga Wall uses specialized belts and harnesses that secure into a socket system in the wall. These belts allow for a greater variety of yoga postures. In this unique practice, gravity is utilized as a natural form of resistance, which can help students develop strong core muscles.
The YOGA WALL:
• Can help improve overall flexibility and mobility in the joints and spine
• Builds strength in both the large and small muscle groups
• Aides access to various muscle groups in poses difficult to achieve on the mat
• Offers therapeutic benefits for injuries, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, & Sciatica
• Can be a training tool to aid competitive athletes in cross-training
• Can help yoga students work through fear and build confidence
• Enables and deepens many postures, inversions, movements and restorative poses
It is said in Yoga, that "you are only as old as your spine." Thus, as long as you have a healthy and flexible spine, your ability to participate in life is endless! The Wall allows you to open your the spine in every direction without compression and hang upside down in your yoga practice. Please see the attached photos of "Off The Wall" in action!
