AERIAL YOGA
AERIAL YOGA
Aerial Yoga is a fusion technique, It combines all the benefits from various fitness methods such as Yoga, Pilates, Dance and Aerial Acrobatics. You exercise on a special, 7 meters long hammock, that is soft and flexible and opens surprising new ways to shape and experience your body.
The constant pull of gravity is the most powerful force your body will see during your lifetime. Inversion offers a system of stretching and light exercise that helps to slow or reverse the harmful, compression of the body by gravity.
The experience of thousands of people who invert regularly is that they gain the rejuvenating effects of inversion on the entire body, providing health benefits.
Many people attend to Aerial Yoga class for at least one of the following reason: fitness, fun, social environment, stress relief, enjoyment of movement as art, well being (physical, mental and/or spiritual). While they may not explicitly go to class for the following reasons, here are some of the values that teacher may hope to impart to a student: good posture, free breathing, proper allignment habits, a sense of play, efficient movement patterns, ability to listen to the body, as well as improve other attributes that contribute to overall physical and mental healt of the student
Aerial Yoga inspires fitness through levity, through the pursuit of Aerial Yoga, we can create a lighter existence.
What we do: We recalibrate the body through zero-compression inversion therapy and guide practitioners to discover a deeper awareness of ‘self’ through an accessible and playful practice while safely cocooned in a supportive silk hammock. In each of our Aerial Yoga classes, one trains in flexibility, strength, mobility and agility while experiencing joy (anandah). We nurture playful energy while conditioning the body.
Grace: Physical grace comes from trained kinaesthetic awareness. Aerial Yoga prides on creating beauty. Balance, bodyline and agility are dependent on fine-tuned proprioceptors (sensory receptors). This is best accomplished though a wide range of motion through numerous physical planes. This kind of conditioning is also a great cross-training technique for other sports, guaranteed to make an athlete faster and give them the competitive edge.
Flight: Although man was not born with wings, the dream of flight is primal to humans. Aerial Yoga stems from that dream. Participants leave class feeling for a moment that they have "slipped the surly bonds of earth", sprouted wings and realized the dream of flight.
