SERVICE DETAILS
Aerial yoga is a type of yoga combining traditional yoga postures with the support of a hammock The hammock provides a unique and fun take on traditional yoga, while also allowing students with to deepen or hold postures that would have previously been inaccessible.

What Happens In a Typical Class?
While practicing Aerial Yoga, students alternate between hammocks and mats to facilitate awareness of the body in all planes. Classes slowly progress from using the hammocks to hold a little bit of body weight to using the hammocks to hold 100% of the body’s weight. The slow progression emboldens new students, and carefully introduces what can be very intense new sensations to the student.
Aerial Yoga supports your traditional Yoga practice in numerous ways:
- Challenging Yoga postures such as inversions and deep backbends can be achieved with less effort and strain.
- Deep muscle releases achieved in the air allow students to explore much deeper stretches in their traditional Yoga postures on the floor.
- Common yoga-related injuries caused by overstretching and compressing the lower back are addressed through postures that strengthen shoulders without compromising flexibility, and strengthen core abdominal muscles without compression of the spine.
Saturday class is only open to book for students who have previous aerial yoga experience.
