Swing in, give it a try! In the single class introduction, learn how it feels to defy gravity, stretch and strengthen with the Hammocks. You’ll get a taste and can decide if it is for you! You can take as many single classes as you desire. This is a nice option if you can not do a full 10-week session.
If you like the idea of being lifted off the ground and stretched in totally different ways than you can on the ground,or the challenge of inverted poses, this is the class for you! Aerial Yoga is an entirely new way of extending your practice by utilizing the power of gravity and a soft hammock to increase your flexibility, balance, coordination and strength. This class will introduce you to being upside down in a comfortable way, and allow you to use the inverted position to get deep stretches in your back, legs, hips and shoulders. You will also be shown ways to use your own body weight for strength building – especially in the upper body and core, and how to achieve restorative poses and postures in the air.
No experience in yoga or hanging out is required, and our introductory class will be appropriate for all levels. Those wishing for greater or less intensity will be shown modifications.

Aerial Yoga is not recommended for women who are pregnant or if you have recently had eye surgery or suffer from vertigo.
