The push-up, the greatest of all exercises, confers not only physical benefits but also the profoundly empowering feeling to be able to push oneself off the ground and stand tall as a man.
Experience the greatest excitement in restoring natural alignment and develop real functional multi-planar strength, endurance and mobility.
Shena means swimming in Persian, envisage fluid, wave-like, circular motions.
The Persian Yoga Shena board is the granddaddy of them all.

The Shena encourages external rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint when doing push-ups, i.e. it enforces correct posture and technique everytime reducing the stress on the glenohumeral joint.
Compared to Western push-ups where the hand position is often perpendicular to the floor and directly under the shoulders, the Shena enables a more natural wrist alignment and enables a greater range of motion where the hands can travel below the 12th rib during the push-up.
The Shena shifts the centre of mass superiorly, enabling leveraging of the body-weight, making the push-ups more challenging and allows you to do push-ups on any surface.
Based on the time-tested design used for millenia. Our Shena set the standard for what others copy.
