Can Gravity Stretching help with stress and a nervous system on overdrive?
Answered by the founder of the method
Yes, and for a lot of people that's actually the main reason they come. Hanging isn't only about the spine, it's about the nervous system too.
How it switches the body over
Once the body understands the lianas are carrying its full weight and there's nothing left to control, it switches out of alert mode into deep relaxation, and the mind finally lets go.
A reset without effort
You lie down, breathe, hang - and the tension that's built up simply dissolves. A lot of people say they walk out with a quiet head, like they exhaled for the first time in a long while.
