AERIAL YOGA INSTRUCTOR

I first fell in love with yoga in 2012 on my journey to health and fitness. I found that yoga allows us to strengthen both body and mind and it gave me a place to unwind from the day’s stress. A few years later, I discovered aerial yoga and I’ve been hooked ever since. Aerial yoga provides support for poses that are more difficult on a mat and often allows for a deeper stretch. It’s also exciting to try new things and hang upside down. As an elementary school teacher, I felt called to also teach aerial once I fell in love with it. I try to bring positivity, encouragement, and fun to my classes. Come hang out with me and discover how much fun aerial yoga can be!

Becka instructs the following:

FAMILY AERIAL YOGA (8 Yrs & Up)

Family Aerial Yoga is a great way for kids, adults, or both to enjoy a fun activity. A class for students of all abilities, you will enjoy stretching, flipping, and spinning while being supported by the aerial hammock.

As an adult, the inversions and poses feel great and give a nice stretch. As a kid, flipping upside down is lots of fun and the hammock provides support to do this safely. Your child will learn how to flip, balance, and spin with control over their body. Many poses allow for choice whether you want to spin and invert, or not, so it’s great for all levels and abilities. While it is not required for you to join your child in class, this family class would allow you and your child to practice and play together!

AERIAL YOGA

We believe you can fly!

Aerial Yoga uses a soft fabric hammock to allow the student to get deeper into traditional yoga poses or assist with poses, such as inversions, that otherwise may take years to accomplish. The body is fully or partially supported to assist or gain strength in stabilizing muscles that normally would not be challenged as much. The core is deeply challenged allow the body to move in space. Deep tissue massage is one of the many benefits of the hanging poses in areas of the body that hold onto tension, such as hips & shoulders. Benefits of inversions in a pose like sacrum wrap, include traction & decompression of the spine & increased circulation to the brain.

Students will learn to work with and feel gravity to discover a natural release, realign the body, and center the mind.
