Yoga Inversions for Beginners - Feet up trainer

Hello .

So I just got this pick up trainer in the post , Um , so let's open it and find out .

It comes with beautiful poster of all the poses that you can do .

So this is useful to do inversions , especially for beginners .

It's a great tool to use because it makes it so much easier to find balance .

Um , but also it's safe .

It avoids compression onto the head and obviously of the cervical vertebra .

Um , so it's a great way to learn your inversions , but it's also , um , a great way to experiment different variations of the legs ones upside down and also to be upside down for longer .

Because again , you don't have that compression of the head onto the floor .

It's safe for to for you to stay up a little bit longer .

Um , and there's also loads of other ideas of poses that you can do to strengthen the body and to stretch using the trainer .

So this is great .

And then it comes with , um , some more information about why the feet up trailer is good and some , um , social media links so you can find them on Instagram and Facebook .

And they have an instagram challenge A feet up challenge .

Um , where you can post your pictures on the feet up , and , uh , you can win one .

And then it comes with instructions .

Super easy to put together .

Um , took us about 10 minutes to do it .

Um , so let's have a look at it .

Yeah , and simple .

Again padded .

You have a comfortable support for your shoulders ?

Um , it's floor friendly , so it's non slippery onto the floor , and all you have to do really is put your head in and your feet up , so let's give it a go .

Once you have the head in , you can walk the fit in clothes and pike .

But if you don't have that axis yet , if the hamstrings are not open to do that yet , you still will have the feet further back .

You walk in as far close as you can , and then you take one knee into the chest .

You push through the hands and eventually lift both knees .

Now , here you can play rocking forwards and back defines a point of balance , and then when you have that balance , it will be possible to straighten the legs up .

And then here you can play with all the variations that you want , maybe staying upright or opening the legs going white .

Oops .

If you have the space , any variations that you want here and once you've had enough , you come down and you can rest into a child's pose here .

Mm .

So it's a great tool to have , especially if you are a beginner learning your own versions .

I would definitely recommend it because it gets you comfortable and confident going upside down .

It gets you used to being upside down as well .

Um , and then when you will try and do your inversions without it , it will be different .

You will be much more comfortable .

Um , so let's give it a go one more time can have different hand variations , can hold on to it down here , up here or eventually .

You can also not hold on to it anymore and just stay .

But that will be a little bit harder for the balance .

So right now there is no pressure at all onto my head .

It's into my shoulders , and it's fine for me to stay here for as long as I want .

And if you already are comfortable in your inversions .

You can use this to build extra strength so you could use it to do pikes up and down , working onto your abdominals .

And I love it for arm balances as well .

Just a bit a little bit extra challenge for your arm balances .

So I did loads of pictures with this , um , doing arm balancing positions .

And , um , you can see them on my INSTAGRAM account , so check them out for extra ideas .

But as I said , it comes with a poster and you have loads of ideas there already , so give it a go if you can , and I'm sure you all enjoy it .
