Ropes for Yoga: The Art of Yoga Kuruṇṭa by Eyal Shifroni
The use of ropes for yoga was introduced in the modern era by B.K.S. Iyengar who wrote: “‘Yoga Kuruṇṭa’ is a method in which one learns to manipulate one’s own body in various yoga postures by means of a suspended rope as if one were a puppet“.
This book is a continuation of my Props for Yoga series and focuses on one specific prop: wall ropes.
In her book Yoga - A Gem for Women, Geeta S. Iyengar writes:
“Performing Yogāsanas with the aid of a rope has many advantages. Difficult āsanas can be practiced with ease… The method is ideal for women who are heavy in the region of the thighs, the buttocks, the stomach, and for those who have become flabby after one or two deliveries.
By using ropes, the spine becomes supple, and even difficult āsanas can be done easily and safely. No jerking is felt, and a sense of direction is developed by regular practice. Old people can do Yoga Kuruṇṭa without injuring themselves.”
In this book , I present a large variety of options for using ropes, some new and innovative. I have found that using ropes has made my practice more explorative and engaging. I am sure that this book will assist you on your yogic path and ignite your imagination to further explore the use of ropes.
If you are a teacher, this book will provide you with ideas on how to enhance your classes and make them more creative and interesting.
