Blissful Yoga Studio Brings New Twist to Valley's Yoga Scene



Glendale, AZ - The grand opening of Blissful Yoga Studio at Glendale’s upscale Citadelle Plaza on September 1, 2009, brought a new twist to the Valley’s yoga scene with the Great Yoga Wallä, the only one of its kind in the state. The wall-mounted system of straps, pulleys and props is designed to create a greater support base for an extended variety of yoga poses.

There are hundreds of poses that can be practiced with the help of the Great Yoga Wallä system, according to Blissful Yoga Studio founder, Rosa Rendon. “It opens the door to a broader audience of people seeking fitness options, from people with limited range of motion to yoga fans wanting to perfect more advanced poses,” says Rendon.

The original Yoga Wall has been around for decades, designed by BKS Iyengar to assist students in various yoga asana (poses), as well as aid physical therapy patients improve their overall flexibility and mobility in the spine and joints. The newer version of the system is designed with adjustable straps and more comfortable pelvic swings to accommodate every height and body type.

The Great Yoga Wallä is just one of the many appealing features of Blissful Yoga Studio.  The studio offers:

Ashtanga Flow Mix: This class builds strength, stamina and flexibility for more advanced postures and sequences. Previous yoga experience is recommended.
