Climbing Yogi Uses Slackline to Practice Yoga

TUESDAY, 30 OCTOBER 2007

Climbing yogi, Jason Magness, 30, has found slacklining as a new yoga prop. Slacklining is an activity for rock climbers and thrill seekers in which they try to walk on a makeshift tight rope raised off the ground. Magness discovered that using slacklining while practicing yoga made him more centered. He said slacklinng can improve many things such as focus, breathing, balance, control of the bandhas, and even one’s sense of humor. Magness said, “Your mind has to be engaged or else you fall off”. Slacklining is very good in finding out where balance comes from.

Magness tries more difficult yoga poses in slacklining. He and his friend Sam Salwei are working on a DVD explaining yoga and slacklining and they are holding workshops on the subject.
