The idea of the yoga swing has been around for a long time, from ancient yogis using ropes to hang, yoga Kurunta, and other props to enhance their practice, Iyengar yoga, right up to today’Äôs acrobatic performers of Cirque de Soliel suspended in silk curtains way high up in the rafters
A prop is any object that provides height, weight, or support and helps you stretch, strengthen, balance, relax, or improve your body alignment
Props are used both for therapeutic purposes, as previously mentioned, and to teach specific actions such as
' lifting the kneecaps ' ' elongating the spine ' ' opening the chest ' and others, which you will hear repeated over and over again in yoga classes, also help you stay in poses for a longer time and conserve your energy, allowing the nervous system to relax, they can be used to make postures more challenging; to safely stretch further, to work in a deeper, stronger way and to expand, open, and blossom in a pose
In yoga we are asking the body to ' work against the grain ' we are asking the body to let go of the death grip that habit and conditioning have on us
Props help us to accept this revolutionary and evolutionary process
