1. Antigravity® Yoga Rehabilitate & Restore & Renew
This class is recommended as an INTRO class for all who want to try before buying a sequence of four. This is the best class to start with. Hammocks’ are low to the ground. We utilise the hammock to gently restore and repair the body’s muscular, structural and nervous systems. By floating the body through mid-air in a series of gentle, gyro-kinetic motions, the entire spine is deeply opened as synovial fluids release into the joints, hydrating the cartilage that cushions them. The weightlessness provided by the hammock allows the body to glide safely to the extent of its flexibility with zero compression on the joints and connecting tissues. This technique is beneficial in both the prevention and rehabilitation of all injuries. We offer Mindful breathing, visualisations, connecting you with your body & muscles, creating awareness and whole-life healing sessions. You can work at your own pace, making it a gentle and restorative rehabilitation session, stretching and lengthening your whole spine. Avoiding mental distractions allows us to reach a more profound sense of oneness with ourselves in mind, body & spirit.
This powerful method focuses the mind through powerful visualisations as it floats the body through stretches, oxygenating the blood and profoundly opening the entire spine, hips and connective tissues. The technique features inversions & various forms of flowing spinal traction. This therapeutic method offers accessibility to students with physical limitations but is loved by all as a portal into deeper spinal flexibility and mind/body connection.

2. AntiGravity fitness – silks, circus classes
This class is not an introduction class. Only EXPERIENCED participants should attend this class. You will get stronger, fitter, and leaner; have lots of fun transforming your body inside and out. Before trying this class, you will need to have had experience in hammocks and the intro class. If you have any injuries’ this class is not for you. You will require some upper body strength and a strong core. We recommend you start down low first; then, you may join this class. Hammocks are at Hip height. We also learn silk moves at every session. You will be climbing the silks. This will give you great upper body strength and sometimes challenge you physically. Circus classes offer a full-body workout, focusing on gaining strength and flexibility in equal measure. You will be amazed at what you will be able to do. 🙂

All are also available. Parents often bring their children to their classes and participate together. It’s so much fun!
Margie, owner of Vibes Fitness, did her first teacher training with Christopher Harrison, the founder of AntiGravity yoga, in Nov 2011
I feel blessed and honoured to have completed my teacher training with Christopher Harrison. The experience was life-changing. I could relate to Christopher Harrison (founder of AntiGravity Yoga). His story on how he healed his body resonated with me as I had many injuries and was looking for ways to heal my body. I love that your hammock is your dance partner, and all the exercises are performed in your hammock. It is such a beautiful apparatus for exercising in & flying, releasing tension, stretching, challenging you, increasing your serotonin, leaving you feeling happy and high and a great way to decompress your spine from the constant forces of gravity. Combining yoga and the silk hammock is a genius idea, mixing a few modalities such as an aerial conditioning program integrating yoga, aerial arts, dance, Pilates, gymnastics, suspension training and callisthenics.”
I worked through my fear of inversions (due to injuries) and came out the other end euphoric, exhilarated, and able to do all the poses. Once I got out of my head, listened, trusted and stayed present, I could do all the exercises. I am so passionate about AntiGravity® Yoga that I cannot wait to teach it to everyone and anyone willing to learn. I love seeing the transformation occur at each session. Often, when people come to a class, they arrive stressed from their day and at the end of the course, they are laughing and happy, freeing their bodies and minds from stress and lengthening their spines. They get results with significant body changes and many benefits, eventually pain-free.
Initially, my fears were due to old injuries, whiplash neck injuries, jaw, TMJ, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, and lower back challenges (cracked sacrum). It took me a few months to rehab my body, and I felt exhilarated and able to move it in ways I had not done in years. I no longer have headaches, migraines lower back pain or shoulder pain. I feel exhilarated, passionate & refreshed teaching AntiGravity® Yog; itt is part of my life. – If I can do it, anyone can… with love and light xx margie xx
