On day 16 of our 30 day challenge I show you how to use an inversion swing. In this video I talk about two main reasons why you would want to use a yoga sling or a yoga trapeze is a much safer way to do yoga inversions. Inversions like headstand and shoulderstand can be quite dangerous for your cervical spine. If you have had an injury in your neck it is best to avoid weight bearing inversions in which case, hanging in a yoga inversion swing can be a safe alternative. 

I also talk about how beneficial aerial yoga hammocks or inversion swing yoga can be for back pain. When you hang upside down in the inversion swing you can decompress your spine. This can provide relief from sciatica, disc compression, and muscle pain and tightness. Through the video I talk about the benefits of yoga inversions, and the contraindications of inversions or why you would want to avoid yoga inversions. I also show you step by step, how to hang upside down in a yoga swing.
