Anti Gravity Yoga

There has been a few new versions of yoga popping up, including Acra Yoga, and Anti Gravity Yoga looks like another version. I love Iyengar yoga and its philosophy of using props to help you in the poses  and and gravity yoga seems to have a similar philosophy. I think I would love some of the poses. Hanging and using the rope to help you stretch. Wow, some of the pics look like they would feel sensational on your back etc. There is a video on this site.

Gold striped vases- a more geometric design would be better..
