– Increased flexibility and strength: The use of the hammock or silk can help you deepen your stretches and build strength as you hold poses.
– Improved balance and coordination: Aerial yoga challenges your balance and coordination as you move through poses and transition between them.
– Reduced stress: Like traditional yoga, aerial yoga can help reduce stress and anxiety by focusing on breathing and mindfulness.
– A fun and unique workout!
What is AntiGravity Fitness?
– AntiGravity Fitness Is the originator of aerial yoga and aerial fitness, and the inventor of the aerial silk hammock.
– Many people think aerial fitness and aerial yoga are simply doing a workout up off the floor in a hammock. They’re not! Although aerial does use a special hammock, it’s really much more about the technique used with the hammock that facilitates fitness transformation.
– Together, the AntiGravity Hammock and AntiGravity Fitness technique facilitate movement in all spatial directions—with a wide range of health benefits. When it’s done right, aerial yoga and aerial fitness are a whole new way of unlocking movement so that you can break through limitations.
