Yoga, with a new twist

By: Amy Hadley

It could be said that nothing relieves tense muscles and stress better than a wall.

It's a Yoga wall to be exact and it could give you the stretch of a lifetime.

They pose, stretch and contort their bodies on the yoga wall. It's a wall made of plywood paneling and spring-loaded sockets. Adjustable straps that hook into the sockets support your weight as your body lengthens into proper alignment.

JoyMoves instructor Eleanor Harris worked with students on performing stretches.

Students also find they can do poses on the wall that they wouldn't even try on the floor, like the inversion. And, instructors said that one of the best parts about the yoga wall is that anybody can learn to stretch on it.
