Wing yoga offers several physical and psychological benefits, improving flexibility, stability, and balance.

It is an amazing addition to the practice of yoga as it helps to decompress the spine, increases core strength and balance as well as provide the action of pulling, a movement that is lacking in the traditional yoga practice.

Participants will explore a variety of postures in the Wing Yoga Manual. The course focuses on progressions, alignment, and sequencing. Rigging and inspection of equipment for your specific space will be covered. The training culminates in a sample class, methods, a rigging assessment, and practice teaching.
