Once you achieve the basic mechanics of the Zwing you will learn to intuitively discover your own Zwing Yoga practice. With persistence you will develop your upper body to have the same strength as your lower half and use them in a more balanced integration. Equal power and dexterity that runs through the centerline of our body makes for the conceptional theory of what Yoga is wonderful. The styles taught are inspiring, ancient and focuses our awareness on the universal pull of gravity. Once working with gravity we are taken, step by step, breath by breath, through the discovery of our feet, heels, spine and finally our head. The exploration is an adventure which is safe because we acknowledge the anchor of gravity to the earth and this allows our bodies to engage and to fly. This yoga is about opening with the aid of gravity and feeling the infinite possibilities from which the ZWING will guide you to. Just as the universe expands to a point then contracts, we too, in our own way, shall discover inner dimensions that expand and contract. Practicing ZWING YOGA is accompanied by many benefits. It awakens our spine, releases the tension in our joints, ligaments and muscles and releases our energy and vitality. Better than anything I have discovered on this plane of life! As our body relaxes actively we discover the space within. Every posture is carried out along with the movements of the Zwing, with the aid of gravity. Our goal set to achieve is Full Lung Capacity + Completely Inflated Lung Tissue. Stack the Breath Did you know that when you spend two to three or more hours practicing inversion per day, your body reverses the ageing process by over 50%? so... if you do 30 minutes of inversion four to six times daily a 50 year old will start feeling like a 25 year old. It is a fact that just five minutes of inversion is equal to three hours sleep. It promotes blood and lymphatic movement and exchange and aids in tissue rejuvenation. It is when you lie down that it takes so long for the blood to reach the extremities. With inversion the blood goes to the head in seconds and there is great benefit immediately. Inversion is nearly the best thing to ever come along for all its healing benefits. Your vertebra are supported and moved by many different muscles. Muscles are used for three basic functions: support, movement and posture control. If muscles are tight or weak they reate or worsen back pain. Joints are controlled by at least two sets of muscles: flexors which bend the joint and extensors which straighten it. In addition, most joints have rotator muscles that twist and rotate your bones. Good posture is only possible if the flexors, extensors and rotators are in proper balance. Doctors agree that most back problems are caused by stress or by weak muscles. We need strong back, abdominal and hip muscles to resist gravity and to hold us up. Besides holding us up, they act to keep the spine and pelvis in alignment. As societies around the world become more mechanized and computerized, they have also become less exercised. We lock ourselves behind desks and in front of computers. When we sit, our back muscles hold us erect, but our stomach and hip muscles are inactive. When they are not exercised, stomach and hip muscles become weaker, putting a painful strain on the back muscles. Sitting places higher loads inside the lumbar disc than standing (between 150 to 250% depending on posture). Invertebral joints are supported by ligaments, which are tough and inelastic fibers which support the spine and hold it together by allowing only a limited range of movement in any one direction. Ligaments require regular movement and loading, otherwise they will eventually become still and weak. Using inversion can give an excellent controlled workout to the muscles and ligaments necessary for a healthy spine. There is also an enormous body of evidence that a compressed disc, whether or not it is actually ruptured, can be aided by Inversion Therapy. Inversion increases the invertebral space and allows the disc to return to its shock absorber and spacer function. Many of our back and other problems are due to gravity's chronica downward pull on our bodies, often causing compressed or pinched nerves leading to Sciatica. The sciatic nerves are the largest nerves in the body - about as big around as your finger. They start in the lower spine, pass behind the hip joint and go down the buttock and back of the leg to the foot. Pain from this nerve, called Sciatica, may be felt from the hip to the big toe. Also keep in mind that before surgery became so popular for back problems, traction was the therapy of choice. Gravity traction gives the user total control and the results we have seen are impressive. Now with the aid of the Yoga Swing you can begin reversing the flow of gravity easily and without special strength, balance or agility. Any level of flexibility or age, even children, will have sheer fun and pleasure hanging out and flowing through various positions. The numerous practical benefits on the health and therapeutic levels is that, not only can you stretch and strengthen virtually every muscle in the body, you can achieve the state of bodily perfection you may have been striving for. Healing Benefits: The Yoga Swing can be used for gentle passive lumbar or sacral traction, which can do astonishing healings to the lower back in minutes. You can then carry out the lower back strengthening series to heal low back pain/injuries and correct the fibers and tissues from reinjury. Wellbeing and the ability to perform any task may be increased by 100% after performing continued inversion combined with flexing, moving and breathing as a form of flowing rehabilitation. Core Yoga: Core Yoga is working from the core. By strengthening the lower abdominal muscles the entire bodily structure becomes incredibly strong and unified. The Core Yoga Swing System was developed to achieve a deeper state of body integrity where the alignment of gravity comes into harmony with the breath and there you will find TRUE YOGA - the union of the physical and spiritual. When undertaking Inversion Therapy we would like you to practice bilateral symmetry when doing exercises. This act of smooth control and focusing on muscle balance will correct imbalances in predominant muscle groups. Again enhancing alignment and gaining superior strength. The Yoga Swing is portable, just find a low tree branch and you are ready to hang out in a peaceful setting. It is a complete exercise gym, yoga stretching and osteopathic therapy alignment device. |
