Aerial Yoga

Aerial yoga may sometimes be viewed as a circus act, but it’s a great prop that can also be used for basic and gentle stretches. The inversions might look intimidating, but they are not necessary and are friendly to all levels of practitioners. By taking body weight off the floor, the soft silk hammock allows for gentle spinal decompression, easing pressure on the vertebrae, neck, and lower back while making deep, supported stretches accessible without joint strain. Many poses done on the hammock also stabilizes the core muscles, improves balance, and builds upper-body and grip strength.

Aerial yoga also has some amazing calming effects. When wrapped completely inside the fabric during final relaxation, the gentle swaying and cocoon-like feeling stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, significantly reducing cortisol levels and inducing a state of sensory calm.
