Joshee Mannix is a mobile slacklining school that delivers personal training programs for balance, agility and focus of the body and mind on the slackline.
Slacklining can be described as walking, balancing or doing various tricks on a line tensioned between two anchors (trees most often). It may seem similar to tightrope walking, however the slackline webbing is flat and broader (1 or 2 inches for example), and the line itself is not perfectly tight – rather stretchy and dynamic.
A bit of history for you: Slacklining started in the rock climbing community, but in the past 20 years it's gone global. Now all walks of life are using it and it's now become its own sport being pushed to new limits everyday. Many sub cultures have come from this. It can be used as
· A physical workout (core strength and stabilizer muscles)
· A mental workout (reaction time, increase neural pathways between left and right hemispheres)
· Sports training (proprioception and balance, all sports require it!)
· Rehabilitation (great for knee and ankle injuries)
· Recreation (tricks and stunts, see the tricks page)
· A form of Meditation (find that quiet place inside)
· Balance Therapy (inner strength)
· As a form of Yoga and Tai Chi (moving meditation)
· Social gatherings (its so funny watching your friends try for the first time!)
And anything else you can think of, because it can be done anywhere there are two points to attach to, you are bound only by your imagination!
