Aerial & Therapeutic Yoga
Yoga in a soft hammock — spinal decompression, supported alignment and playful flight.
A contemporary practice, emerging in the 2000s at the intersection of traditional Hatha, gymnastics and aerial arts, and quickly embraced for its therapeutic and accessible qualities.
Back compression, gravity-worn joints, and the joylessness of routine — a body that wants lightness.
About This Practice
Aerial yoga suspends practice in a soft fabric hammock, letting gravity become the teacher. Weight-bearing disappears from the joints, the spine gently decompresses, and poses become both easier and deeper — with an unbroken current of joy underneath the work.
Sessions mix grounded warm-ups with aerial postures: seated and inversions in the hammock, supported stretches and — in therapeutic formats — gentle traction for the spine, guided one-to-one for recovery and confidence. No experience needed; the fabric holds you.
