Will Aerial Yoga Work for You?

>Will Aerial Yoga Work for You?

Born in the Land of Yoga

Born in the land of yoga, many of us have been aware of its incredible benefits from a young age. We know that a simple Surya Namaskar can aid in weight loss, enhance flexibility, cultivate mindfulness, and foster internal fitness.

However, as therapeutic and result-driven as traditional yoga is, we live in modern times. Our eyes are perpetually glued to screens, our postures have taken a hit, hormonal imbalances are skyrocketing across genders, and daily fatigue alongside more alarming health concerns among the younger generation call for a contemporary approach to these age-old practices.

Enter Aerial Yoga

Enter aerial yoga. Developed about two decades ago in the West by Michelle Dortignac, this hybrid model of yoga is a vibrant combination of modern fitness practices like Pilates and aerial arts, all infused with traditional yoga poses performed using a supportive hammock.

Commonly known as anti-gravity yoga, aerial yoga allows you to embrace poses with far greater flexibility and ease, offering a more engaging and often playful experience. It challenges you to engage your core, strengthens your back and spine by facilitating deeper stretches, and ultimately leads to improved posture.
