Aerial Yoga @ Sangha

WHAT IS AERIAL YOGA?

Aerial yoga combines Yoga poses with the use of an aerial hammock to provide support, and to allow more freedom and creativity of movement.

We offer group and private aerial yoga classes.

Small group sessions (max 10 people) for a high quality and intimate learning experience.

Join us Mondays 10:30-11:30 for Aerial Yoga Stretch and Release - Low Hammock class. Or enquire about booking a private for yourself or a group!

BENEFITS OF AERIAL YOGA

Relieves compression in the spine

Aerial yoga inversions provide the unique opportunity to reverse the natural downward compression in the spine, allowing the soft tissues in the back to release and relax, and joint compression in the spinal column to be relieved.

Builds strength and flexibility

Practicing aerial yoga is an excellent way to build functional strength, especially pulling strength and core strength. The aerial yoga hammock aids in increasing flexibility safely through both active and passive stretching. 

Detoxifies the body and improves blood circulation

Aerial yoga helps to improve blood circulation and to detoxify the lymphatic system, draining lymph nodes in the lower extremities through inversions and eliminating pollutants in the body.  This helps improve overall health and wellness.

Boosts mood, energy, and focus/relieves stress

Aerial yoga inversions induce relaxation in the body, turning off the “fight or flight” stress response and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, our “rest and digest” response. Inversions increase blood flow to the heart, lungs, and brain, providing more oxygen to these areas which helps to boost energy and focus. Combining breath with movement helps us arrive in the present moment by reconnecting the mind and body, which can help us find mental calm in a fast paced world. This practice of mindfulness helps combat stress throughout the day, and has a positive cumulative effect over time on our ability to deal with stress.

Challenges proprioception

In aerial yoga we spend a lot of time upside down, challenging our senses and our kinaesthetic awareness of our body within space.
