Aerial Yoga is traditional yoga, supported and elevated by an aerial hammock. The hammock hangs in a U-shape from the ceiling and provides a space for anyone to deeply relax, reconnect to the body, play with incredible shapes and go upside down safely. Aerial Yoga is rooted in traditional Hatha yoga, especially the Iyengar method and Vinyasa flow – that means we pay a lot of attention to alignment and breathing. You do not need to be an acrobat or a gymnast to enjoy this type of movement; you just need an open mind and presence.

Here are some of the benefits of hanging in your aerial hammock:

1. Deep release: we use the pull of gravity to create space in your joints and a deep release in your chronically tight muscles. It feels amazing, helps undo the harm of sitting too much, and might even help you grow a little taller.
2. Support and alignment: the support of the hammock actually makes yoga poses easier, so you can develop more grace and ease in your asana practice. The hammock is like your yoga chair, belt, block, and bolster all in one.
3. Increased strength and dynamic flexibility: with practice, you will be able to make seemingly impossible shapes and transitions on the floor and in the air.
4. Relaxation and awareness: this yoga is all about deep breathing, softening all you tissues, and creating a genuine connection to your inner center.
5. Challenge your brain: when we alter our relationship to gravity, we challenge and train our entire nervous system. Scientific studies have observed increased neuroplasticity in the brain after going upside down. That means, Aerial Yoga is probably making us more intelligent!

It’s definitely rather yoga (not fitness or acrobatics). Expect a vinyasa-style yoga class with some aerial elements, as well as meditation and relaxation at the end.

Aerial Hammock offers lots of possibilities for creative movement, and some of the things I teach in my classes are “advanced”. However, fancy acrobatic tricks are never our main goal in this practice. On the contrary, I focus on simple movements connected with deep breaths. How the shape feels is always more important than how it looks. Our goal together is to cultivate awareness in the whole body and remove any tension or postural imbalances.

Aerial Yoga is for someone who:

• loves creative ways of movement, like dancing and vinyasa yoga
• wants to have a little support in challenging yoga poses
• wants to practice all those inversions safely, even as a beginner
• looks for new possibilities to grow stronger and more flexible
• wants to develop a graceful posture and liberate the body from any tension it may be holding.

CAUTION: There are conditions when Aerial Yoga is NOT recommended. Pregnancy, glaucoma, cardio-vascular issues (high or low blood pressure) are among those. If you doctor recommends avoiding inversions and only doing mild exercise, follow their recommendations. Do check in with you doctor to make sure that this or any other kind of exercise is safe for you!
