Aerial Yoga is a blend of yoga and aerial arts. It is a beautiful and freeing alternative to a yoga mat practice, although it is not necessary to have any yoga experience in order to participate in an aerial yoga class. Aerial yoga uses fabric in the form of a hammock as a “prop”. It will allow you to create a place of presence in the body, mind and spirit while enjoying the benefits of increased flexibility, strength and decompression of the spine and joints. You will experience traditional postures that are often difficult in a mat practice, but can be achieved during your aerial yoga practice.

How to Prepare for an Aerial Yoga Class:

• Please arrive 10-15 minutes early in order to register and adjust your hammock height.
• For you own comfort, it is recommended that you wear a short or long-sleeved shirt for you first class.
• Do not wear any jewelry (rings, bracelets, necklaces). These can cause rips or tears in the fabric.
• Avoid using hand lotion, perfume or sunscreen prior to class.
• Clothing should not have zippers, which can also harm the fabric. Most participants avoid loose fitting clothing. Choosing clothes with more cotton than lycra is also advisable.
• Trim you nails to avoid them from snagging the fabric.
• A yoga mat is optional but not required for this class.
• Most participants avoid a regular meal 1-2 hours before practice, but may opt for a light snack (fruit, protein bar, etc.) if necessary.
