Yoga Kurunta (Koronta, or also known as Yoga Rope Wall) is a practice that was initially introduced by T. Krishnamacharya in his yoga shala in Mysore, Karnataka, India. The initial postures were published in the book Yoga Makaranda. Later on, BKS Iyengar, having been inspired by his Guru Kirhsnamacharya, developed a deeper practice on yoga Kurunta in Pune.
Iyengar in his later years, used Yoga Kurunta as a therapeutic, strengthening and alignment tool. In her book “Yoga - A Gem for Women”, Gheeta Iyengar gives a thorough explanation of the first yoga Kurunta postures ever taught to women. Yoga Kurunta aims to allow the body to be suspended as well as supported and be able to create different postures without injury. It is a practice were we use ropes which have been attached to a wall and they allow freedom of movement, stability, flexibility and body awareness. |
