New studio uses specialized equipment to provide workouts for students of all types.
At Highland Park’s new Yoga Bent Studio, 25 slings dangle from the ceiling. Students can step into one and hang suspended in the air, stretching their muscles in ways they couldn’t do on the ground. Another set of 25 bands made of bungee cord can be adjusted to support your body, helping to activate other muscle groups and build up endurance as students work on poses. The specialized gear was all designed by co-owner Miguel Latronica, who has been teaching yoga for more than 15 years. The first floor of his new facility serves as manufacturing space for his products, which he exports to England, Japan and other countries around the world. He also sells his bands, bags, mats and other yoga equipment in the studio store. “My family used to …

The unconventional project features Walder going through a series of yoga poses in a doctor's office wearing everyday street clothes. Throughout the video, Walder coaches viewers on how to find inner calm during stressful medical situations such as waiting for test results and meeting with physicians. "It'…
