Iyengar Beginning Ropes Class (In Studio ONLY)
with Cathie Ryder, CIYT, E-RYT 500, (IYENGAR YOGA)

CANCELLED

The rope wall is yoga’s answer to achieving  health benefits to poses that otherwise would not be available for some students. It was first developed by BKS Iyengar, who used it as a prop to support and intensify his asana practice. He called the rope work “yoga kurunta,” which means “yoga puppetry.”

The ropes work by using gravity as a natural form of resistance causing the body to open much further than in regular yoga practice.  This helps releases tension from the joints and deeply stretches the entire muscular-skeletal body.

Rope poses are especially beneficial for spine health through use of traction to relieve pressure from vertebral discs, which soothes compressed nerves and quiets the mind. They are also used to create deeper opening through out your body. 

This Class is currently being offered once a month.
