In 2006, 2007, I injured my back.

I wasn't doing anything special.

I had actually been doing the exact same yoga routine

for two years, literally the exact same set of poses.

Perhaps it was repetitive stress.

My personal theory is that it was repetitive stress combined with mental and emotional stress.

I was going through an extremely stressful period in my life and I find that a lot of back pain and a lot of chronic pain issues tend to originate from both physical stress combined with mental and emotional stress.

That's my story. I woke up I

couldn't get out of bed. It was a really low point in my yoga career. One thing that I

looked into, well I looked into everything. I looked into chiropractic care

and acupuncture and all kinds of different things but the thing that I got really

excited about was inversion therapy and inversion therapy back then was usually these big

gigantic tables where you strap your feet in and the table it's really large

it takes up about half the size of a room and you tip yourself upside down and it feels

great and then the other one were kind of these scary things called gravity boots and they're kind of like ski boots that click into a pull-up bar and you hang. This is super dangerous for all kinds of reasons. The boots can fall off, the bar can fall off, it's really hard to get in and out of these. They're also really cool.

So neither of those options really seem like good options, and that's when I started looking into inversion slings, inversion swings, and

the yoga trapeze.

So since 2009 we have been manufacturing and distributing yoga trapeases all over the world and it's been this sleeper success which has suddenly taken over.

We now have group classes in my studios.

We're launching the first yoga trapeze teacher training here shortly and

people go nuts for it. it's a really cool versatile

device because you can do traction on your spine this is probably the most common
