We're so excited to announce the arrival of Yoga Trapeze at Oxbow Farm Yoga! This is a great way to build upper body strength, relieve back pain, and explore backbends. No prior experience is required, just a desire to improve your strength and flexibility! Worried about going upside down? Don't be! There are many, many options with the trapeze that don't require inversions. But you're going to want to try ;) 

What are the benefits - read on!

• Instant Spinal Traction: Back pain is an epidemic, but clients can use gravity to their advantage while using the Yoga Trapeze and elongate their spine with little to no prior yoga experience. For many, this type of pain relief is unmatched by any other form of treatment.

• Suspension Training: Functional fitness requires the pushing, pulling, and holding of weight. In traditional mat-based yoga classes, you push and hold your body weight constantly, but it’s very difficult to find pulling motions in these classes. Pulling is a crucial movement for back, neck, and upper body health. The Yoga Trapeze introduces functional pulling movements in a fun and dynamic way.

• Flexibility: Aside from inversions, there are dozens of hip openers, shoulder openers, and hamstring stretches that work amazingly well for flexibility. Using the leverage of the sling, suspension, and gravity, you can practice flexibility training in a whole new way.

• Deep Backbends: Backbends are some of the most challenging poses in yoga, and students often get so frustrated that they skip them altogether. On the Yoga Trapeze, you can do passive backbends (just hang and breathe) to open the stiff and stuck areas of your shoulders and thoracic spine.
