Why You Should Try Yoga Kurunta or Rope Wall Yoga

The Rope Wall is one of yoga’s most therapeutic props. Practicing Yoga Kurunta is a great way to open the body and release tension in the spine and pelvic area. Using ropes allows better access to poses while achieving accuracy, agility and balance and provides an antidote for the stiffness that tends to settle into the body.

Positive Effects of Yoga Kurunta:

• The spinal traction helps relieve back pain and tension.

• Stretches work well for hamstrings, shoulders and chest.

• All major muscle groups are stretched and strengthened.

Yoga Kurunta is excellent for students of all levels seeking to strengthen, align, and restore the body. Those that suffer stiffness, the elderly and those that have a difficult time moving into complex poses will find Yoga Kurunta particularly therapeutic. As a totally supportive practice that yields relaxing and lengthening effects on the body and nervous system that last for days, Yoga Kurunta is a good choice for all!
