TROGA: A new form of YOGA

Developed by two Australians, Ben Lucas and Kate Kendall 

Troga combines yoga and TRX - a form of resistance training using ropes and webbing as props. These suspension ropes are attached firmly to the ceilings and you perform strength training exercises using your own body weight as the base. Resistance training in itself is strenuous. When you combine it with yoga, it can turn out to be the best form of workout.

Troga has become one of the most popular forms of workout and has got an amazing number of practitioners in the West.

It is one of the many spinoffs of the yoga forms, which includes bike asana, spin yoga session and striking yoga poses on the treadmill.

Troga exerts full pressure on your abdominals, but doesn't affect your joints.

ADVANTAGE:

  • The main advantage of Troga is that you are supported by ropes. So, you can perform the most difficult of resistance training, including tricep curls, without the fear of hurting yourself. You also feel free to stretch harder when you move on to traditional yogasanas.


BEST FOR:

  • This is a great form of exercise for those who are in sports. Even beginners can benefit from it.
