Aerial Yoga
Class overview
The Class
Aerial yoga uses a loop of aerial silk โ also called a yoga hammock or swing โ to reimagine or refine traditional yoga postures, whilst also drawing from aerial circus technique and vocabulary. AeroZen classes generally take the form of movement series, working with breath through different sequences of postures.
AeroZen Fly classes use the hammock rigged at hip height, allowing for a whole range of postures from gentle through deep stretching to acrobatic movement. AeroZen Float classes use the hammock rigged at knee height or lower with the focus on release, gentle mobilisation and deep relaxation.
Aerial yoga has multiple benefits for mind and body:
- allowing deep passive stretching by working with gravity, offering greater release with minimal tension and reduced joint strain;
- increasing core and upper body strength;
- encouraging neutral alignment, creating space in the body and decompressing the spine;
- helping to build confidence, conquer fears, encourage curiosity and deepen relaxation.
AeroZen is intended to be an inclusive practice, offering modifications or alternative postures so that each individual can work at their own level and support their bodyโs unique needs. You donโt need to be a yogi โ and you definitely donโt need to be an aerialist! โ to enjoy AeroZen.
