Chinese Yogis practice Yoga 6 hundred feet above the ground

1:43 AM

Earlier stunning photos of over 100 enthusiasts pulling off an array of different poses have emerged on the internet. The yoga has been practices on the spectacular glass-bottom walkway at the Shiniuzhai geological park in Hunan, central China. These formidable female yogis displayed their difficult positions on a bridge suspended 600 feet above the ground in which many struggle to walk on. They did so to promote green living ideas, and harmony between man and nature. The yogis who were sporting yellow tops and white trousers were not only striking yoga poses but also were having fun.

It looked as if the Yogis were doing a traditional Chinese dance called the ‘Thousand-hand Buddha’ in one of the images where they were ere sitting with their legs split and arms up, or the wide-angle seated forward bend. Yoga is all about meditation, calming the mind and feeling relaxed. It’s exactly what the women in the pictures did despite many people would not associate this with a terrifying glass-bottom structure. The bridge has been dubbed ‘hero bridge’ because of the amount of courage required to cross it. The walk way which is 984 feet long was previously a wooden overpass. It linked two peaks of Stone Buddha Mountain in Shiniuzhai Geopark. In 2014 part of the bridge has been replaced with a glass cutout. It attracted hordes of fearless tourists and finally in September of 2015 the bridge was completed with glass panes running all the way along it. The bridge became the world’s first glass-bottomed suspension bridge.

Reports say that many visitors practically froze with fear when they were terrified to walk across the bridge. The women on the other hand did not seem too worried about the glass cracking beneath their feet despite more than 100 of them being on the bridge at the same time.
