BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Stress Relief 101

Written by

Rob

People de-stress in many different ways.  Some prefer a hot bath, while others do yoga, and there are even those who prefer things like paintball to relieve tension.  When the lovely Danae gets stressed, she finds that suspending is the best way to clear her mind.  Take her most recent knee suspension.  You can see in the photos just how calming it is for her, as if all the stress in her body is flowing downwards and out, leaving her clearheaded and peaceful.
