Aerial Yoga

Aerial Yoga Teacher Training Course

Aerial yoga, also known as anti-gravity yoga, is a type of yoga that incorporates the use of a suspended fabric hammock as a prop. The hammock acts as a support system and allows practitioners to perform traditional yoga poses in a unique and dynamic way. This form of yoga was developed to provide a low-impact workout while also promoting relaxation and stress relief.

During an aerial yoga session, the fabric hammock assists with balance, adds resistance to movements, and deepens stretches. The hammock also allows inversions, improving circulation and energy levels. The practice is designed to increase strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Aerial yoga offers a fun and unique way to practice yoga and improve overall health and well-being. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a beginner, aerial yoga is a great addition to your fitness routine.
