AerialYoga
Aerial yoga uses a silk hammock to allow students to perform postures that they may not be able to attempt on the yoga mat.
Anyone can practice aerial yoga
Aerial yoga is beneficial for students who spend a long time sitting, or who have back pain. It has particular benefits for strengthening and stretching the whole body, decompressing the spine, improving circulation, boosting digestion and lifting one’s mood. Aerial strengthens the core, arms, and lower body.
We offer the following aerial yoga classes
Aerial Foundations
Level 0
Aerial Yoga
Level 1A
Aerial Yoga is a combination of traditional yoga poses done on the floor and postures practiced using a silk hammock. It helps to deepen postures and range of motion. This class is an all levels class and is great for beginners. Class will start with a warm up from head to toe, making sure you feel safe and confident. This class will consist of instructions on how to use your silk safely and trust yourself. Class will include aerial yoga flows, individual poses, inversions and suspensions.
Restorative Aerial Yoga
Level 1B
A gentle class that blends supportive restorative postures with a low hanging aerial hammock. These long-hold restorative postures release tension and encourage the body to sink into a deeper sense of relaxation and stillness. This class is perfect for all levels of experience, and stages of flexibility.
Aerial Flow
Level 2
This class is a step up from the traditional “Aerial Yoga” class. We will work on going deeper into the postures we learned in Level 1, increasing flexibility, strength, and trust. The yoga flows will be longer, working to build mobility and strength within the silk.
Aerial Skill
Level 3
Level: Intermediate to Advanced. This class focuses on strength and conditioning to tackle more advanced tricks. More complex strength poses will be introduced. These poses will require core and arm strength, therefore you must take at least 5 lower-level aerial classes beforehand.
