Yoga jellies for yoga
Yoga jellies are great for people with sensitive wrists and hands to use in yoga poses that put pressure on the hands. Made from silicone, the dome-like supports allow you to adjust your hands and wrists to protect them when doing yoga. They are washable, easy to use have proved popular among my yoga students. I had to buy multiple sets for my group yoga class so that everyone with wrist issues could use them and one student has already ordered their own pair. If you want to try some, just ask at your next lesson and you can try some of mine to see if they work for you.
Yoga jellies for tango
Now that you have yoga jellies to help your wrists for yoga, let’s use them for tango! If you know me well, you know I am always looking for innovative ideas to improve tango technique and speed up learning. One morning, I looked at a student leaning to the side who felt they were completely upright and grabbed a yoga jelly out of my yoga tool drawer. “Put this on your head!” I told them, and immediately saw an improvement in balance. Aha!
Try it yourself: turn a yoga jelly upside down on your head and walk. This is the best way I have found to keep a kinesthetic sense of “tall axis” while dancing. The weight of the silicone yoga jelly is just enough to push against to lengthen my spine. On top of that, if you drop the jelly, it does not break! It works with hair, without hair—if you stand up, it stays up. If you lean off-axis, it falls off. That’s a direct indicator!
Yoga jellies for tango inspire yoga jellies for yoga
I showed my new drill for tango to a student. He responded well, lengthening his core, and standing straighter. He took one look at the jellies and happily decided to go back to yoga and try it with yoga jellies, as his wrists had been a problem in his yoga practice. How’s that for a circular inspiration?
Note: This is not a paid ad. This product is great, and I have bought several pair of the yoga jellies for my students to use in yoga class. There are cheaper versions available if the price tag seems too high, but I prefer this brand. I should have bought stock . . .
