Black Catt Headstand Bench

Backbend Bench

Rubber Straps

THE PRIP

We have been experimenting with a new double thickness short rubber which we call “the prip”. It has been experimented with now for the last 4 months and we are about to unleash it. This short rubber can be placed under your mid back, upper back and low back both horizontally and vertically. It can be used under the head while the longer strap opens the upper back. Further more, we have found that people are using it in the office, in the car and on airplane trips. It is very small; it fits easily in your bag, is totally unobtrusive and provides surprising benefits. Now available. Its a prip.

Price: $12.00CA

THE BLACK CATT (Critical Alignment Therapy Tool for inversions)

This headstand bench is a multilevel tool useful in various capacities at different levels.

First of all, it is useful for people who are uncomfortable with headstand for one reason or another. It relieves any pressure on the neck and enables beginners to begin working on headstand without having to bear the whole weight of their body.

Secondly, for those people who want to work on their back, the headstand bench allows them to mobilize the upper mid area of the back and the lower back easily on their own.

Thirdly, for those who want to assist others in mobilization of the spine, the headstand bench is an invaluable tool for assisting people to mobilize and retain that mobilization by working it into their own co-ordination pattern.

These headstand benches are sturdier and more stable than our previous bench. Further they are designed to stack so that they do not encroach on valuable studio space and can be moved in multiples.

A collapsible bench is also available that can be carried in a suitcase and set up anywhere. A sample is available now and we hope to have them available before Xmas.

The design is proprietary.

For classes where instruction in usage is taught see EVENTS.

Price: $329.00CA+GST for the standard bench
$349.00CA+GST for the collapsible bench

Additional rubberstrip sets are available separately at $30.00CA.
