The Upgraded TRX Yoga Workout

Your suspension trainer has more tricks up it’s sleeve than you know because it offers a cutting edge take on the yoga experience, fusing together two of the most popular and effective disciplines in the fitness industry.

Using the TRX in yoga sessions can help to form new ways to scale and enhance poses to make yoga accessible and fun for everyone. Use it to boost your balance and improve all round.

 

TRX Eka Pada Koundinyasana

1. Starting blocks

Position yourself on the ground, facing away from the anchor with your feet in the cradles. From a plank, bring one knee to the shoulder. Return the leg to the start and switch sides.


2. Upgrade one

Bring your knee towards your shoulder and add a push-up once you’ve returned to the plank position. After repeating on the other side, keep going until you’ve had enough.


3. Upgrade two

Place one foot in both foot cradles, in the plank position. Bring the free knee to the shoulder on that side, bending the elbows as you do. Place the knee on the back of the arm and hold.


 

TRX Dancer

1. Starting blocks

Place one foot in the cradle with the knee on the floor. Your other foot should be in front of you. Place your hands onto the front thigh, and adjust the hips so they face forward.


2. Upgrade one

Stand with one foot in both foot cradles. Bend the back knee and reach the same hand for the straps. Keep your chest lifted and use the straps to continue lifting the foot up.


3. Upgrade two

Reach back to grab the straps. Place your hands along the straps so that they are next to each other. As you ground through the standing leg, walk the hands down closer to the foot.

TRX Handstand

1. Starting blocks

Stand with one foot in both foot cradles. Lower your hands to the ground. Extend the leg that is in the suspension trainer further to the ceiling. Walk your hands as far back as you can.


2. Upgrade one

Press your hands strongly into the floor and drive the back heel into the cradles; bring the non-suspended foot off the floor. Bend the free leg and bring the knee to the chest. Engage your core


3. Update two

Keep tension on the straps and press the hands down. To return, lower your non-suspended leg to the ground. Walk your hands and the leg to the anchor. Remove the cradles.


TRX Warrior II

1. Starting blocks

Stand beneath your anchor point. Step into a lunge, then turn your back foot 90 degrees. Press into the handles to engage under the shoulder blades. Turn your head
to look over the front fingertips.


2. Upgrade one

Standing under the anchor point, this time grab both handles with the back hand. Maintain the front arm at an even height and continue to engage through both arms evenly.
