A method and a strong, light weight, portable apparatus useful for assisting a person to safely practice Yoga using a real tree. The apparatus comprises a plurality of strong, flexible, inelastic, continuous loop slings, predominately of Mountain Climbing Specification Nylon tube webbing, connected to one another in an interlocking fashion. This Yoga multi-sling is dimensioned for attachment in a secure manner to most any tree or strong branch; and is designed to comfortably support the user's body or limbs in such a manner as to alter the orientation of one's body with respect to gravity. This method and apparatus empower the user to employ gravity as the exercising or stretching force through the positioning of the user's own body or limbs to create first, second, and third class levers in order to multiply and focus these forces on targeted muscles or muscle groups, and enhance the flow of one's Yoga practice. The Yoga multi-sling enables a person to use a real tree as a strong stretching partner to practice unique, supported, Yoga postures, or asanas, in order to increase one's balance, strength, and flexibility in an outdoor, natural setting. An advantage of connecting to a living tree while practicing Yoga is the medicinal and therapeutic enhancement of the five senses to produce an overwhelming sensation of peace to one's mind, body, and soul. The inexpensive multi-sling, which fits in a drawstring backpack tote, is adaptable to various body types, reconfigurable, comfortable, and tree friendly.
