Float into bliss

Restorative Aerial Yoga

A relaxing and rejuvenating style of aerial yoga designed to nurture you. We spend more time with the hammock hung low to the ground in these classes (so they are a great option if you don't enjoy full inversions). In Restorative Aerial Yoga we use the fluidity of the fabric to encourage graceful, flowing movement and it's support in deeper stretches.

Benefits

Enhanced core strength and stability. Even though this is a gentle and relaxing class, your body will naturally work to find stability as the fabric moves. Many people find this really improves their balance outside of the fabric. This is particularly useful for people who are unable to practice standing balancing postures.

Many people find it easier to meditate in the fabric

The feeling of being cocooned in the fabric can be very soothing and relaxing for the mind.

When we are immersed in the sensation of learning a new movement, we don't tend to think as much about our usual worries, and the mental chatter of distraction settles down - it feels easier to tune into the present moment.

The support of the fabric and freedom of movement it allows can really help to release tension in the body. Many people report an improvement in neck and lower back after practice - however everyone is different so please keep us up to date with any aches, pains or injuries so we can adjust your practice accordingly.

What to wear

For Aerial Yoga, wear comfortable clothing that covers your armpits (sleeve) and legs. Cotton or cotton blend fabric is best (non-slippery). Wear something you can move easily in, that will not be too loose or floppy, remember, you will be upside down!

Leggings, tracksuit or yoga pants are great- jeans or rough stiff fabric will be uncomfortable.

PLEASE NO ZIPPERS, JEWELRY, MAKE UP OR FAKE TAN - this will damage the hammocks.

Watch out for little zippered pockets in your yoga pants or tops - these little zippers can tear the hammock fabric.
