A NEW YOGA PRACTICE, SUSPENDED ABOVE THE MAT

Sling Yoga Introductory Workshop

KUTZTOWN, PA – The Yoga House is the only yoga studio in Pennsylvania to offer this unique practice. In hopes to promote its benefits and goodness, The Yoga House is hosting a one-day, 4- hour workshop on August 21st , 12-4pm, to explore the basics of sling yoga for beginners to seasoned yogis. The workshop will be held at the 456 West Main Street location in Kutztown.

Suspended from the ceiling, the long and large stretchy fabric curves and folds to the contour of each limb, and thus, gravity can be used more efficiently. Sling yoga is practiced free from the negative impact of gravity. The posture a person cannot achieve on the ground is easily achieved in the sling. Pain and discomfort commonly experienced during yoga on the mat is eliminated in this practice because pressure points are eliminated. With these eliminations come the ability to expand the body’s potential for movement, healing, and health.

This workshop will explore the relationship between the body and gravity. It will give participants a clear understanding of how to practice zero compression inversions and anti-gravity postures. No previous experience is required and beginners are welcome.

There are only 11“seats” available in the August 21st workshop and interest is high. You can reserve your sling seat by going to www.yodates.com. This will direct you to PayPal where you can secure your sling for the workshop at $75.00 a person.
