Discover the Magic of Aerial Yoga
Share
Aerial yoga, often called antigravity yoga, takes your practice to new heights—literally. Using a silk fabric hammock, either secured to a stand or the ceiling, aerial yoga allows you to perform various yoga or Pilates poses while suspended in the air. This innovative practice offers a unique blend of fitness and fun, making it an excellent addition to your routine.
What Makes Aerial Yoga Special?
Aerial yoga combines the best aspects of traditional yoga with the benefits of being suspended in mid-air:
**Deeper Flexibility** The hammock supports your body, enabling deeper stretches and enhanced range of motion.
**Core Strengthening** Suspended poses engage and strengthen your core muscles, promoting stability and balance.
**Improved Circulation and Digestion** Flowing through poses in the hammock encourages blood flow and supports digestive health.
**Access to Advanced Movements** Postures like headstands become more accessible, with the hammock taking pressure off your head and shoulders.
Gentle on Joints and Versatile
For those with joint sensitivities, aerial yoga provides relief:
**Joint Decompression** Hanging in the hammock creates traction, easing pressure on your joints and spine.
**Reduced Strain** This practice is easier on hands, wrists, and knees, making it an excellent option for people with mobility concerns.
Aerial yoga is considered a low to moderate intensity workout, suitable for a wide range of fitness levels.
Mental Health Boost
There’s something magical about floating in the air. The soothing sensation of suspension can calm your mind, reduce stress, and improve overall mental health.
