Inversion Therapy 

The sole act of hanging upside down on the sling unloads the spine: thus relieving pressure on nerve roots due to poor postural habits, lack of proper stretching & exercise and the effects of gravity and our own body weight. Inversion alleviates muscle tension, neck & back pain, promotes increased joint mobility, flexibility, relaxation and increased circulation of blood, lymph & energy. It is an incredible anti-stress and anti-aging practice – we like to call it a “natural botox.”

The Yogena™ suspension system is an inversion sling that allows you to suspend in an inverted position with your pelvis and leg muscles bearing your body weight. This position eliminates all gravitational compression. Inversion therapy is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space between your vertebrae. Numerous clinical studies published in reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings relief from back pain.

What is the Yogena Inversion Sling?

The Yogena Inversion Sling is a patent pending (USPTO Application # 61/853,846) recreational hammock & inversion sling that can be used as a yoga prop, a suspension trainer and can be used indoors or outdoors. The hammock weights only 5 lbs, comes with its own bag and can be set up in less than 2 minutes on any support beam or two points that are strong enough to hold your weight. The hammock is made from parachute nylon and polyester webbing and can hold up to 700 lbs.

It comes with 4 carabiners (strength 12 kN or 2,697 lbs each) and includes 2 daisy chains (4.5 feet each) with 22 pockets.The actual length of the hammock fabric is 92 inches and width is 48 inches. It can comfortably accommodate one person; however, we have also put two people in the hammock and it was ok.

There are plastic adjusters on both sides of the hammock that can be used to adjust the availability of fabric and as such, the hammock can be used as a yoga prop for suspension yoga and spinal decompression. The user can invert 180 degrees in 3 easy steps using the handles to support the user's body weight while inverting.

All it needs are 2 suspension points strong enough to hold your weight. As such, it can be used from monkey bars, tree branches, exposed beams and pretty much everywhere you can suspend it from.

Better than TRX/Jungle Gym

The Yogena Inversion Sling also doubles as a suspension trainer and is better than other suspension trainers like TRX or Jungle gym since its patent pending design includes 3 handles per handle set.
