Why FeetUp?
It looks a bit funny... Is it a sore bottom softener?
Nope! This funny-looking contraption offers much more than being just an inversion tool.
Using FeetUp® adds a little twist to a traditional Hatha yoga practice that makes it easier for everyone who wants to practice yoga to do so. Using the FeetUp® trainer throughout the class offers a more dynamic style of practice that's especially ideal for beginners. It offers extra support for many asanas and brings the floor up, helping to reduce stress and joint pain.
The trainer allows for the inclusion of a safe and supported inversion to suit most levels.
Getting your feet in the air has never been safer and more accessible. The weight of your body doesn't rest on your head, but is evenly spread over your shoulders, so that your head hangs without strain and your spine is gently stretched.
FeetUp® can be used for strength training and fitness and to strengthen the core, getting your heart beating a little faster by ramping up the speed of dynamic flows.
FeetUp® is brilliant for longer holds and relaxation sessions, taking a mini break from rushing around in your busy life, or for slowing down and shifting your awareness from doing to being.
One-to-one sessions are tailored to suit your level, fitness and personal objectives, safely working around any injuries or areas of weakness.
As a beginner, learn the basics without feeling embarrassed at being in a class environment.
As an experienced practitioner, you'll have options to develop advanced postures by using dynamic postures.
