Airyoga - what is this?

My wife Mary has been recently discovered a new type of fitnes and cardinally new life-style. Yoga in hammocks. It is a really cool kind of trainig, also known as "Anti-Gravity Yoga".

So, why is this beneficial?

1. Aerial Yoga Hammock relieves stress, helps with flexibility, and increases strength. If you find you are on the computer most of the day, your lower back, shoulders, and neck are taking a lot of strain.

2. Aerial Yoga Hammock will help your back, neck or shoulder muscles engage in a different way.

3. You can do an action similar to swimming by kicking your feet as you are suspended in the hammock. Or, you can sit on the floor and have your neck supported in the hammock for a release of neck tension. There are stretches, spine twists, and core conditioning you can try.

4. There are many different styles of Aerial Yoga in use. Some studios have a Flow Yoga approach, some use a more Fitness based program. Some studios prefer the Flying Hammock that offers handles for support in particular the plank or push-up pose which is extremely good conditioning for core muscles.

5. The hammock can be used to support a limb or to assist in regaining joint mobility post surgery. This may require some assistance from a partner.

I have several problems with back and I can say, that this Yoga is very usefull for me and for people with simillar troubles, because there is no great load above your joints. But, the same time you have to be in tension during the exercises.

The first time we got the close acquaintance with yoga, our workspace was in a small gym. But now it is on the rooftop, and it's awesome! Fresh air, a lot of sunlight, singing birds...We feel ourselves close to nature. In our region Anti-Gravity Yoga is gaining popularity and concedered to be the most popular studio in Kislivodsk (the town, we live in).
