Aerial Yoga is a practice of awareness of mind, body, and spirit, which will shape your body, improving your flexibility, strength, mobility, agility, conditioning and shaping your body while experiencing joy, nurturing and playful energy.
AntiGravity Yoga is for everyone. Once you understand your fulcrum point and distribute your weight evenly in the hammock, you will easily flow through each exercise, stretching and lengthening your spine. This is a powerful method of focusing your mind as it floats the body through a series of activities, deeply opening the entire spine, hips and connective the body. We will take you on a journey into realigning, lengthening the spine and self-healing. We guide you on the ancient healing aspects of meditation, Mindful breathing, and inner awareness of the physical benefits of an antigravity hammock. Your Heart opens with laughter and vivid expression. AntiGravity benefits everyone who needs significant changes in their body shape and lives.
AntiGravity® Yoga defies the laws of physics but also funlevity. It’s all about having fun (haasya) while learning to fly (paripati). We nurture playful energy all whilst conditioning and shaping your body.
Aerial Yoga is a unique fusion technique that relieves compressed joints and aligns the body from head to toe. The Aerial Hammock acts as a soft trapeze and support while you master simple inversions and progress to more advanced poses. You will be amazed at what you will achieve in the four weeks. You will see changes in your body shape and improved strength.
Developed by former gymnast and dancer Christopher Harrison, AntiGravity® Yoga provides a workout that allows you to stretch and strengthen without putting stress on your joints or compressing your vertebrae.
The key to aerial Yoga is the hammock, a swath of silky fabric that acts as your support system. Your hammock is your dance partner. Using the hammock, you learn to invert and hang the air. The hammock supports your hips for forward bends and backbends. It acts as your seat for any number of variations of exercises.
It can be looped around one foot as you stand on the other for applications reminiscent of an Iyengar-style ropes wall. Best of all, the hammock wraps you in your little cocoon for a swaying or chilling out.
All moves are derived from Pilates, dance, callisthenics, suspension training, and Yoga. Your body will change shape quickly and easily, creating strength, a longer, leaner body, and flexibility. Aerial yoga poses offer a new way to cultivate stability and flexibility.
This practice of awareness, which merges the quest for mindful body, spirit & physical expansion, and the pursuit of enlightenment, has been a natural extension of our growth.
Come and hang out with us and meet your new dance partner— It’s a great way to get fit and shape your body while lifting your spirit.
AntiGravity® Yoga Philosophy
Fun
AntiGravity® denotes combating the laws of physics, but it also means against graveness — in other words, stay light and have fun! When you laugh, you are working your risible muscles. In AntiGravity® Yoga, we are intent on keeping them in shape.
Awareness
Yoga is a practice of awareness in body, mind, and spirit. Finding “now presence” is the aim of yoga practice. It is in the present moment that you are safe, that you are in flow with the universe and that you experience joy.
Accessible
Fitness techniques are not just for those who are physically gifted. Antigravity yoga is for everyone. AntiGravity® Yoga is easily modified to accommodate all fitness levels. It has been our desire to make AntiGravity® Yoga accessible to anyone who is sincerely pursuing health.
Inspiration
Inspiration is the key to sticking with a fitness program. AntiGravity® is a creative technique based on a movement art form that will inspire your fitness. The proceadvantageousarding is not only based on the physical results one will receive but also on the satisfaction of creative accomplishment.
Anti-Aging
AntiGravity® denotes fighting against the aging effects of gravity. As the body ages, the joints must be pushed to support mobility. The muscles need to be maintained in proper alignment, and the discs need to be hydrated to decrease deterioration. If we don’t use it, we lose it.
Grace
Physical grace comes from trained kinaesthetic awareness—aerialYoga feelings of pride in creating beauty. Balance, body line, and independence on fine-tuned proprioception (sensory receptors). This is best accomplished through a range of motion through many physical planes. This kind of conditioning is an excellent cross-training technique for other sports, guaranteed to make an athlete faster and give them a competitive edge.
Flight
Although the woman and man were not born with wings, the dream of flight is primal to humans. AntiGravity® Yoga stems from that dream. Participants leave class femomentarilymoment that they have “slipped the surly bonds of earth”, sprouted wings and realized the dream of flight.
