| Rope in Sanskrit is Kurunta. There is a text called YogaKurunta which may not be available today (I do not have it.) That is the source of Rope Usage for the respected T. Krishnamacharya. And, yes it can be used in many ways, similar to the usage of other props. The respected BKS Iyengar has of course done more creative work on Props than anyone else I know.

| Thanks for that. Using YogaKarunta has thrown up far more helpful search results (rope wall mainly gets adverts for them and texts on how to build your own).
It seems the book is still available but, at this, point, I just want some idea of what I'm letting myself in for so I think Google'll be my friend now :-)
Thanks again.

| I use my ropes a lot and really enjoy them both for the help/prop aspect (I have been dong downward dog in the ropes for a long time, which I would not have been able to do at all with my sore shoulder) and for the learning they can provide (the various ways of using ropes to learn good action in standing poses). Have fun!!! |

| *LOL* Why do I suspect that this workshop may be a double edged sword....... with my talent for trouble they'll still be trying to cut me down a week later

| If you are prepared to come to VA, I can show you ways of using Rope you never have used before. |

| Ohhh, you've been taking lessens from GJ on being BAAAAAD...... oh, I spot your game, this is really a cunning ploy in your role of match-maker and you're trying to get two of your harder to shift single clients off your books at once, aren't you, Neel?!
I know VA's a state code, but which one? I have a pal who lives in Lexington, North Carolina who keeps nagging me to visit again (she was in Alpine, California last time) and another in Philly so you never know, I might just make it a multi-stop tour!
*Sighs*, now that I have the money, I simply do not have the leave to meet my increasing wish list of places to go!

| VA is virginia--another east coast state. you could start in NC and head toward Philly (as VA is in between) or you could start at Philly and head to NC. |

| Thanks for clearing that up, Zoebird :-)
Oh boy, why on earth don't they ever invent anything useful and get that dang transporter thing from Star Trek done. It'd be way cool to be able just to pop in for a herbal tea or something in the lunch time / after work wouldn't it?

| I have both long and short ropes rigged up in my house and at the studio. We buy them straight from the Iyengar Institute in Pune and they are incredibly cheap.
I love rope work. I can always really feel my body opening up much much more.
Some of the inversions and back bends can be a little nerve racking when you first try them...

Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | I know VA's a state code, but which one? It's not a state code...it's just an abbreviation for the mail service. I have a pal who lives in Lexington, North Carolina who keeps nagging me to visit again (she was in Alpine, California last time) and another in Philly so you never know, I might just make it a multi-stop tour! Don't forget...I'm in the Western part of the state of NC..you must visit Asheville if you come to North Carolina. You can also get to VA from the Blue Ridge Parkway and see all that nice scenery in the photo's I put on this form...see the 4th of July thread...that was the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina..aka NC. *Sighs*, now that I have the money, I simply do not have the leave to meet my increasing wish list of places to go! Fee Don't ya hate that!!! |

We use the wall rope system at yoga centers. It's the one developed by Bryan Legere (sp?) in Ventura, California.
There are so many uses for the system I would not even know where to begin. Many of them are not acrobatic and in the hands of a skilled teacher there is a tremendous amount of safety being amployed. I doubt we'll need to cut you down.
Some of the work that comes to mind is shoulder openers, actions in standing poses, spinal traction (which is simply heaven) and supta padangusthasana.
I don't know who's running your workshop but I think you're in for a treat.

This thread may now be academic as I broke my coccyx at the weekend. And, no, not from inappropriate usage of a rope wall :-)
