Aerial Yoga

Aerial yoga is a mixture of aerials and yoga. The hammock is kept close to the ground and becomes a swing in which to support and stretch the body in mid-air. Aerial yoga has particular benefits in strengthening and stretching the whole body, decompressing the spine, improving circulation, and lifting one's mood. Elevate your yoga practice!
