In sessions run by our instructors and physiotherapists, both gentle and challenging movements allow you to experience spinal decompression with zero gravity yoga–namely by using inversions, or hanging “upside down,” as one of many movements in the class. Relax your body and mind while improving flexibility and lengthening your muscles.

Benefits of Aerial Yoga
Align Your Spine
Inversions are an integral part of aerial yoga. They allow the spine to decompress, giving more space to the nerves in the spinal column.
Release Serotonin
Aerial yoga helps release endorphins and serotonin, a.k.a. the “happy hormones,” that improve mood and can help ease anxiety and depression.
Improve Body Awareness
A regular yoga practice can help you develop greater kinesthetic awareness and get in touch with your body. This leads to improved balance.

Getting Ready to Fly
Building your personalised yoga plan
1
Learn the Basics
The philosophies of AntiGravity Yoga include levity, opening up, being free, and the pursuit of awareness and excellence. Fun is more important than perfection. One’s true wealth is their health. Move it or lose it. AntiGravity techniques are anti-aging in nature. However, the primary philosophy is presence.

Build Your Plan
You can easily incorporate aerial yoga into your regular exercise plan as it aligns with your goals and lifestyle. During each hour-long class, you’ll move, stretch, and use the hammock measured specifically to your height. You will move through a series of yoga-based moves, such as Sun Salutations and Airplane Sequence. You’ll be able to enjoy inversions even in the first class!

Enjoy the Results
You’ll start feeling the benefits of aerial yoga almost immediately. Most students leave their first session feeling more relaxed. The benefits will compound with regular practice. The more you practice AntiGravity yoga, the more you’ll be able to access deeper stretches and experience regular release.
