Aerial classes

o

ffer students a

n exciting

and different way to

approach

their yoga

practice.

With

the help of a fabric sling s

uspended above the ground

, the dynamic

of

one's practice

is changed

in a number of ways. When

suspended, the spine

naturally

decompresses and

the pressure on

joints is greatly reduced

, a

llow

ing

for

more ease in

doing a wide range of

poses

. Backbends and

inversions are much

more accessible

,

giving support and comfort

so that poses may be held

longer

. By

reducing or totally

eliminating 'weight-bearing' on the

joints, flexibility increases

significantly. But don't be

fooled...this is also a surprisingly

intense "core" workout

since you can't

help but

engage

your core muscles to

s

teady

yourself while

suspended

.

Those looking to

develop more

arm and shoulder strength won't

be

disappointed either

.

Use of the sling

creates a different perspective from which to view one's practice

and

it

adds

a

huge element of fun to the process!

Despite it's newness,

a

erial

classes

remain

as true

to the

principle of Yoga as

t

raditional classes.
