Aerial/AntiGravity Yoga
Aerial / AntiGravity Yoga: Taking Your Practice to the Air
Aerial Yoga is a modern, hybrid style of yoga that combines traditional yoga poses, Pilates, and dance with the use of a soft, silk hammock suspended from the ceiling.
What to Expect in a Class
- The Hammock: The main prop is a soft, fabric hammock that supports your body weight.
- Support and Decompression: The hammock allows you to hang freely, decompressing the spine.
- Inversions: The hammock supports your hips, allowing you to hang upside down with no pressure on your head or neck.
- Strength Building: You will use your core and upper body strength to lift and move yourself in and around the hammock.
- The "Floating Savasana": The class often ends with final relaxation cocooned inside the hammock.
Key Poses
- Inverted Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana)
- Supported inversions like handstands and headstands.
- "Vampire" Pose (a supported backbend)
- "Cocoon" (Savasana inside the hammock)
