Take your Yoga Practice into the Air!
Practice traditional yoga poses with the support of an aerial yoga swing suspended from above. This detoxifying practice allows students to hold postures longer, building strength and confidence. Inverting with no pressure on spine allows the body to release tension and lengthen.
Instructor: Jill Fleming E-RYT
Suspension Supported AERIAL YOGA combines traditional yoga with a “swing” suspended from above. In aerial yoga, the body weight is distributed between the fabric “hammock” and the floor.
Many practitioners enjoy working with the hammock because it relieves pressure on the joints, especially the spine. Hanging in the swing also increases core strength and introduces an element of play. Transitioning in and out of yoga postures with the use of a swing prop improves balance and increases overall strength.
Inversions are accessed safely and easily. Resting in the yoga hammock heightens relaxation for an overall balanced effect.
The Benefits of INVERTING include: Improved circulation, natural face lift, oxygenated blood flow to the brain increasing concentration, memory, and mental functioning, stimulates lymphatic system, supports detoxification, builds immunity, increases core strength, energizes and relaxes, calms nervous system, builds confidence and besides - it's fun!

Please wear comfortable clothing that supports ease of movement. A snug fitting shirt is recommended to cover the torso when upside down. Please secure long hair away from the face/eyes.
