The 8 Best Yoga Trapezes
This review has been updated 5 times since it was first published in January of 2021. The yoga trapeze, also known as a hammock or swing, is used by many for stronger muscles and back pain relief. When utilized for inversion therapy, it’s said to improve digestion and lymphatic drainage, and even elevate one’s mood. If you’re installing one, be sure to follow directions carefully or hire a trusted professional. And always ask your doctor if this type of activity is safe for you.
