WHAT IS YOGA TRAPEZE?
Yoga Trapeze training which uses the Yoga Body Naturals Trapeze focuses on modified yoga postures allowing the participant to feel inverted suspension.  Not only does it provide an incredible sensation not felt in typical yoga classes, yoga trapeze is an especially progressive therapy for those with back concerns. The trapeze is a swing-like contraption that allows you to hang from it in various ways You will experience benefits such as:

• Lengthens the space between each vertebra. Think of it as an all-natural spine traction system.
• It supports and assists the body in deeper backbends that normally cannot be accessed.
• It helps build core and upper body strength.
• Allows you to get upside down, reverse your blood flow, send fresh oxygen to the brain, and be invigorated/inspire.
