TRX Suspension Trainer Tips for YogaYoga poses are ancient forms of movement meant to master the body and enhance the body’s functions. When exploring a yoga pose using the TRX® Suspension TrainerTM, be clear on the intention of the yoga pose. Leverage the Suspension Trainer to assist in the action of pulling, pushing, lifting, pressing or rotating to create a deeper expression.
TrainerTM incorporated into your yoga practice builds true resilience, improves balance and coordination, increases mobility, develops dynamic postural control and cultivates stress coping mechanisms. It teaches you how to engage and fire up the correct muscles needed to create a fuller expression of a posture. All of this in combination with the (ujjayi) yoga breath creates a meditation in motion that will clear your mind allowing exploration of your true potential.
Once the pose is set up, hold the pose for 3-5 ujjayi breaths. Creating more length and space in the body when you inhale and contracting and getting deeper into the pose when you exhale.
