"If floating mid-air while stretching your body and calming your mind sounds like a fun idea, then you'll experience a great time doing aerial yoga. It's a unique and fun way of doing full-body yoga, making it a popular choice among yogis. And it's a topic most often discussed in our yoga teacher training program. Has it made you curious to learn more? Let's explore everything about this unique approach to yoga, from how it works to how it's done."
"Aerial yoga is basically traditional yoga performed using a suspended hammock or silk fabric. But it's oftentimes a combination of yoga, dance, Pilates, and acrobatics, with practices leaning towards one type of workout over the other, depending on your class or instructor. In aerial yoga, silk fabrics are hung from above to physically support you (fully or partially) in performing traditional yoga asanas."
Aerial yoga blends traditional yoga with Pilates, dance, and aerial acrobatics by using a suspended hammock or silk to support the body fully or partially during asanas. The hammock enables graceful stretching, inverted poses, and spinal decompression while reducing joint compression and assisting alignment. Precursors include the ancient Yogapaṭṭa and Iyengar's prop innovations, followed by modern aerial apparatus like the aerial hammock and Yoga Swing/Omni Gym. Class styles vary by instructor and may emphasize fitness, flexibility, alignment, or acrobatics. The practice provides full-body conditioning, improved flexibility, and relaxed, playful movement.
