Yoga in a hammock
Aerial yoga: what is it?
In aerial yoga you practise in a stretchy hammock hanging from the ceiling. It carries your weight so you feel weightless, combining classic poses with gentle swings and inversions.
The hammock makes poses possible that would be hard on the mat. Breathing and meditation are part of it. Classic basics: yoga for beginners.
