Need to slow down and regroup? Want your yoga fix but feeling like you need something refreshing and new? Spend an hour using props of all kinds- including the wall!- to get into restorative poses and into correct alignment which will translate into better posture in your fast flowing classes. In these propped up poses your body will relax and realign and you might even forget your name!
Rope poses are exceptional for spine health with their use of traction to alleviate pressure from compressed vertebral discs. They are also very helpful in allowing for a deep opening in the organic body to occur, which nourishes the organs, calms the nerves, and quiets the mind. They are also a whole lot of fun! Take a page out of the bat and the sloth's book, neither of these critters get arthritis which is attributed to the amount of time they spend upside down.
Beginners and advanced yogis can benefit from this felt experience and the relaxation and renewal from using tons of props and hanging upside down with your 'Ohm-ies'!
