Yogi Flair But John Kelly, a 33-year-old cheeky Cockney cabbie, is doing just that. He's never been to an Indian temple, doesn’t like joss sticks and was only introduced to yoga four years ago after his wife talked him into joining one of her classes. Yet he's invented a device that could take yogis by storm and open up the discipline to a new wave of people who would previously have found the required postures and stretching too daunting to even try. The invention is simplicity itself. As beginners tend to have great difficulty performing most yoga stretches, many instructors encourage them to use straps. These help by enabling new and inflexible yogis to stretch themselves as far as possible-trying to touch your toes while sitting on the floor is a lot easier when there's a strap around your feet that your hands can work their way along. But, for John, this wasn’t good enough. ”I still find a number of moves difficult,” he's says. “Even with a strap, its tough because you have to keep taking your hands off it to work your way along and its easy to lose your grip. There's one posture where you try to touch your hands together behind your back. I was getting nowhere with it for ages.” To solve his problem, he took an 85cm-long strip of thick leather , cut 16 rectangular holes out of it at regular intervals and started using that instead. ”The holes made it so much easier for me to move my hands along the belt, ”says John. “I had something for my fingers to grip and I was soon doing moves I previously found impossible.
