Aerial yoga uses an aerial hammock which is also referred to as a sling, silk, or fabric that is looped as a prop to support the body in yoga poses. It's a great class for someone who has some experience with yoga and looking to explore their practice and further increase overall strength and flexibility in addition to the other benefits yoga provides for the mind, body and spirit. The floating savasana at the end of class is ommazing!

Classes are 80 minutes in length, the last twenty minutes being reserved for savasana (final relaxation), pranayama (breath work) and meditation. Aromatherapy maybe used in class, please let instructor know prior to class if you are sensitive to any essential oils.
