The concept is pretty simple: you will use a piece of soft and tensile fabric, hanging from the ceiling. The fabric becomes a hammock and supports your weight while you work out. Your body is suspended in the air while you adopt different positions, work opening postures and stretch your back. The best thing about Aeroyoga is that you strengthen the muscles respecting the joints and releasing pressure. You will start the class very smoothly with a short warm up on the floor. You will then start doing acrobatics, learn to let it go step by step and be more confident while in the air.
The best and most fun part of the class is when you are upside down! You might be frightened at first, when the blood goes to your head, but do not worry, it is a common feeling.
What do we like about Aeroyoga? The class is more about fun and real physical work, then about meditation. This is the perfect class to strengthen your abs, stretch your back, and boost your confidence.
