Aerial Yoga Block

Service Description

In aerial yoga, your body weight is supported by what most practitioners call a ‘hammock’. This swath of soft fabric, suspended from the ceiling, supports your body in the poses and allows your body to work against gravity, helping you get deeper into stretches. It also means you can do many supported inversions, which results in health benefits unique to aerial yoga. Being upside down, supported by the hammock, is a little bit like being in traction —it can help lengthen your ligaments, relax your muscles, and decompress your spine. All day long, your vertebrae sit stacked, being pulled down into each other by gravity. This is why flipping yourself upside down and allowing your spine to be free of that pressure can help you feel lengthened and relaxed, at least in the short term. The positions you can achieve in aerial yoga also temporarily improve circulation, just like regular inversions in yoga asana on a mat can. This can bring you focus and improved energy following a class, and usually brings a huge smile to your face because of the big mood boost it can give you. Like any form of exercise, aerial yoga will boost your brain’s production of endorphins and dopamine, but some physiologists posit that being suspended above the floor, upside down, in a silk hammock during an aerial yoga class may have the added benefit of helping your brain release even more serotonin, which may make you feel serene and euphoric. Because you’re essentially floating above the floor, you get more full-body engagement, and especially core work, as your body keeps itself steady and works against gravity to transition between poses—this makes aerial yoga a great body weight cross-training exercise that improves flexibility, strength, and stamina

Cancellation Policy

Please be aware our cancellation Policy must be abided by. Booking into the following classes specifically, shows that you have read, understood and agree with our strict cancellation policy. Booking in to any given class and not showing up, has a 2 strike policy. You could be taking a booking spot from someone who genuinely wants to participate in the class. This is unfair and we stand behind this strict policy. You will no longer be able to book into any class after the 2 strikes for 2 weeks. Aerial Yoga cancellations within 24hrs of class will not be refunded, therefore please do not request to be transferred to another class as this class is in high demand and results in other people missing out. Spin class cancellations within 8hrs of class will incur a $15 class rate fee as there are limited bikes available. Thankyou
