Inversions are one of the most profound categories of postures in Yoga. I hesitate to list all of benefits for fear the reader will be overwhelmed with this plethora of information so let’s leave it at this… Inversions improve the health of your cardiovascular, lymphatic, endocrine, hormonal, skeletal, soft tissue and nervous systems. In other words, there’s not much inversions don’t have a positive effect on in the human body. But, it’s difficult to invert without a device and many are spacious and expensive. One great solution is the Gaiam Yogacise Body Lift… As a Yoga instructor I bought 12 of them in 2005 to use as an essential prop and my students loved them so much that I’ve continued to utilize them through the years and continually find innovative ways to create safe and effective postures for students ranging from beginner to advanced. The Yoga Lift allows practitioners to invert without the years of preparation and muscular development that freestanding inversions require. There ARE contraindications to inversions so please make sure to consult a qualified instructor prior to turning upside down.
