Who can practice Aerial Yoga?

Aerial yoga is suitable for people of all fitness levels. Whether you're a seasoned yogi looking for a new challenge or a beginner hoping to explore yoga in a fun and supportive way, aerial yoga offers a transformative experience. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions.

How Aerial Yoga works

In aerial yoga, practitioners perform asanas (poses) using a supportive hammock that hangs from the ceiling. This allows for deeper stretches, greater flexibility, and improved posture, as gravity assists with alignment and decompression of the spine. The hammock also helps practitioners balance in challenging poses and enables movements that are difficult to achieve in traditional yoga, such as inversions and backends.

Benefits of Aerial Yoga

  • Enhanced Flexibility: The support of the hammock allows your body to move more freely, helping you achieve a greater range of motion in poses.
  • Improved Strength: Holding yourself in suspended poses engages core muscles, upper body, and legs, building full-body strength.
  • Spinal Decompression: Hanging upside down in inversions allows the spine to lengthen and decompress, offering relief from back pain and tension.
  • Mind-Body Connection: The mindful movements in aerial yoga foster a sense of focus and relaxation, helping to reduce stress and improve mental clarity.

This training is an intense program and it is the best way to start your real journey toward yoga as a lifestyle or if you want to create a career as a Yoga Teacher. Most people understand that to do YTTC you need experience in yoga, but Ishavasyam Yoga School in this course offers a complete package starting from the very beginning to the intermediate level. In this course, you learn Traditional Hatha, Ashtanga-Vinyasa, Aerial Yoga, Pranayama-Shatkarma, Meditation, Yog Nidra, Yoga Anatomy, Alignment & Yog Philosophy.

Ishavasyam Yoga School's motto is to keep on learning and sharing this beautiful yet powerful knowledge and keep on growing yoga families all around the world spreading love, peace, and harmony.
