About Aero Yoga

Discover the weightlessness that brings smile on your face. The practice is gentle on your joints and helps to relieve backpain.

Aero Yoga (also Flying Yoga or Antigravity Yoga) is one of the most recent styles. Special equipment, soft hammock with 300 kg of load bearing capacity is secured to the ceiling. You use it during the class to exercise with and hang in. If you love net swing you’ll be delighted. This practice is mainly for those with back and neck issues.

However we exercise, we do challenge our skeletal system. The founder of this method, dancer and gymnast Christopher Harrison, aimed to create an exercise system that will be available to everyone with amazing benefits of yoga but without the impact of weight on our skeletal system. The increase of blood supply of the head during inversions affects the skin, prevents wrinkles and greying of hair, improves memory and overall freshness.

Why to practice asana in the hammock?

Aero yoga is the unique system of body stretching and strengthening, great workout and relaxation. Maybe you thought of what is the benefit of Aero Yoga compared to yoga in general? There are several unique position where your body hangs and those relieve the whole system of your bones and joints (especially the spine in such a unique way that no other classical yoga posture can replicate). The net is also great improvement for some other asanas and can deepen their benefits as your muscles are more stimulated and because the unstable support makes your deep postural muscles work more intensely to balance. On the other the hanging and end lengthening from the net helps to stretch better and the relaxed rocking movements – e.g. with legs hanging on the hammock – does relieve the big joints from weight. Smooth and slow rocking does relieve the joints, nourishes the cartilage and provides the endorphin release and calmness. This way of yoga practice does help us to work on advanced poses for longer time without inversion of the neck and compression of the spine. “It’s challenging, fun and it works,” the lovers of this young sport claim. Come and try and you’ll see how unique this workout is. The founder says it harmonises the body from head to toe extremely quickly and even advanced practitioners can enrich their yoga practice in a unique new way. It helps to train the balance and coordination, improves fitness level and energises the body. You use the net in every position, think of the possibilities it offers and use that potential. Be creative and playful and let the workout to become joyful and intense experience with deep impact on your body and soul.

Inversions – the miracle of Aeroyoga

Inversions are supposed to be one of the most effective yoga asana. Everything is pulled down by gravity, you can see it’s impact with age as the skin becomes sagging shoulders and back become round. It does affect the internal organs too, mostly our heart which has to pump the blood against the gravity. Circulation worsen with age causing worse cell nourishment, fat plague build up in walls of veins, hearth diseases and varicose veins. The solution might be the inversions. Gravity will affects the body in the opposite way than usual, heart doesn’t have to pump the blood out of the legs and the veins in lower extremities are losing the blood quicker, inversions boost the circulation system, brain and whole head gets the rich supply of blood and that helps to fight the fatigue, improves focus and supports cerebration, smooths out the wrinkles. On top of that aeroyoga inversions also don’t put pressure on joint system, especially cervical spine.
