Aerial Yoga elevates asana practice to provide assistance to traditional poses as well as introduce unique and fun aerial transitions.The hammock acts as a yoga prop to take pressure off joints as well as decompress the spine during inversion. The class begins with a slow flow to warm up and prep the core for a peak aerial pose. An aerial sequence takes the feet off the mat to experience flight in the fabric. Class finishes off with a meditation and savasana in the hammock for restoration and relaxation. The instructor is Alaskan aerial acrobat Stasia Butler.
