What is aerial yoga?

It involves performing traditional yoga postures with the help of a specific fabric, also called a “hammock”. This hammock is installed by a professional to guarantee optimal safety.

What are the benefits of aerial yoga?
Fly yoga or aerial yoga is great because it relieves the joints and makes it very easy to perform postures that are usually only performed by experienced yogis (inversions for example).
It's the perfect tool to relieve back pain, because during head-down postures it allows spinal decompression and stretching of the back.
Aerial yoga is also a discipline that encourages letting go, self-confidence and re-appropriation of the body.
And more than this ... It's a particularly fun discipline that offers the possibility of freeing the body and the mind.

Is aerial yoga suitable for everyone?
Yes, it can be practiced at all ages, and without having any prerequisites. No need to have practiced yoga previously, this discipline is suitable for beginners.

However, it requires a minimum of physical condition, and has contraindications for people with glaucoma, venous thrombosis, inner ear or blood circulation problems.

What happens during a class ?
The class includes, as in our regular yoga classes, a phase of work on breathing, sequences of postures using the hammock as a support more or less close to the ground, a short sequence of postures upside down, possibly learning a posture "aerial", then a phase of meditation and guided relaxation, lying in the fabric or on the ground.
It's a 1h class, with a maximum of 5 participants to guarantee the safety and the good learning of all.

Where does aerial yoga come from ?
Fly yoga or aerial yoga may seem like a new discipline, resulting from a new fashion, but it is not because yogis have always found ways to hang to stretch their spine. Iyengar master himself uses rope systems to hold his students in an inverted position against walls.
