Magma Essentials: Rope Yoga.

Rope Yoga was developed by the Icelander Guðni Gunnarsson. He himself had been a student of Yoga for many years as well as a fitness trainer for over 10 years. He realised that there was much more to physical fitness than just exercising different muscle groups and building up stamina. Guðni put all his knowledge and experience together to create a powerful system whereby his clients could achieve not only a state of physical fitness but a more holistic and balanced result unifying the body, mind and spirit. This resulted in his new found Rope Yoga.

Rope Yoga is more than just a set of abdominal exercises. It is an easy, but powerful programme of muscle building and fat burning exercises, integrating conscious awareness and use of breath to increase oxygenation, as well as stimulating blood flow and the metabolism.

Much like “water aerobics” where the water creates a neutral base for everyone to be able to exercise without any undue stress to the joints and limbs of the body, the rope yoga crafters make this system easy for everyone regardless of body type or weight. Results are experienced by the very first session and no straining or force is necessary.
