Practicing Aerial Yoga
Aerial Yoga is a wonderful and special practice that unifies the body and mind to optimize physical and mental health. This dynamic and fun practice connects and develops the physical and mental potential that each person possesses.
Aerial Yoga inspires us to be more loving, joyful, conscious, free and exploratory human being. It has several physical and mental benefits…
What are those powerful benefits?
Aerial Yoga requires more concentration and effort due to the gravitational force. Each movement is performed in its entirety, it is a total body workout.
A greater body awareness, a better knowledge and control of the body is achieved. It helps us to know ourselves better.
Joints are strengthened, they can work freely with a greater range of motion, achieving greater flexibility. Inverted postures decompress the joints and release tension.
Activates core muscles, including those of the back, abdomen and pelvis, to improve overall physical strength. This form of self-weight training helps us to increase the muscle body mass we need.
Inverted postures help decompress the vertebrae, lengthen the spine and relax the back muscles. Back pain is reduced due to improved posture and spinal mobility. The spine is relieved and by hanging upside down we learn to trust and let go.
Improves respiratory capacity. Consciously breathing through the nose helps the lungs to function better and the air to circulate better.
Mental benefits
Aerial Yoga has an artistic component that develops our most creative side.
It releases the happiness hormones serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins and dopamine which boost our mood and help us feel energized.
Some of the positions and movements in Aerial Yoga can be very challenging. It is an important opportunity to become more resilient. It help us to face difficult situations and avoids always feeling disappointed.
It allows us to be present through breathing and body awareness, which improves concentration and reduces stress. By calming the mind, inner calm is achieved. As we feel better about our body and at peace with ourselves, self-esteem increases.
Practicing Aerial Yoga and being fully suspended or hanging from any part of the body allows us to discover new abilities, develop confidence, overcome limitations and have fun at the same time.
It allows us to create a process of transformation through body movement.
