Abstract
ABSTRACT
Yoga claims that the upside down position of the human body is beneficial to it. But only few persons can do a head stand and this posture may become very uncomfortable if ex-tened for a longer period of time.
This invention enables anybody to flip in an upside down position easily.
This invention is a padded rectangular board about the size of the human body. Leg straps are installed on one end of the board and two brackets on two sides about half way from the two ends. Pivot assemblies are fastened through the upper end of the brackets to the board legs. A board support is fastened close to the leg straps to keep the board horizontal. This enables a person to sit on it and fasten the leg straps, lay back and by lifting arms slowly, flip to the head down position.
An adjustable bar stops the board in the desired angle. To flip to the horizontal position the person lowers his or her arms.
The board can be assembled from two or more pieces linked together with hinges and secured with brackets. When the yoga board is not in use, it cap be folded and easily stored.
