Aerial Yoga
What is aerial yoga?
This class is based on movement and rest using strong, flexible fabrics hanging from the ceiling in the shape of a hammock.
A special and challenging workout that allows the body to move freely and lightly, creating a harmonious balance between control and release, strength and flexibility, work and enjoyment.
The method combines principles from yoga, aerial Pilates, acrobatics, and fitness, using fabric straps at a wide range of angles and positions to create a holistic and effective workout adapted to various goals at all levels.
Why practice on a hammock?
The hammock carries part of your body weight, making it possible to enter challenging poses, including inversions, safely and without pressure on the neck. Inversions help decompress the spine and ease back tension. A therapeutic and empowering class.
