Join for a special in-studio rope wall workshop on Saturday, December 4 with Jocelyn Kitchen. We’ll use the yoga wall to explore familiar poses and allow you to add different actions into your practice.

You’ll love how the rope wall lengthens the spine and opens up the joints with the weight of the body. It allows your spine to extend much further than in normal yoga poses, which will make you feel taller and will allow you to go deeper in other poses like backbends or rope-supported inversions.

The rope wall was first developed by the late B.K.S. Iyengar. He secured simple ropes from a window gate, allowing a yoga practitioner to go deeper in various poses while being held by suspended ropes. In the picture below, students enjoy Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward-facing dog pose) in suspension. The picture above (left) is pyramid assisted by straps on the wall. Both cool and fun. Come practice with us!
