Aerial Yoga
What is Aerial Yoga?
Aerial yoga is a fun and excited way to practice yoga. It combines traditional mat yoga with postures suspended in silk hammocks. By utilizing gravity and balance, you can modify and deepen the practice of fluid movements as well strengthen your physique and mental awareness. The silks are a fantastic prop in assisting alignment, allowing for modifications, nd encouraging to root deeper into one's practice, making this a remarkably versatile practice for all abilities. Working with gravity, as opposed to against it, these postures are less strenuous on your joints and spine. It is a wonderful way to bring life to traditional and modern asanas (poses).
