Silks/hammocks can be used while you are seated, standing or even laying down on the ground. Some poses involve sitting in the hammock to stretch, back-bend or maybe even invert.​​  

​

In  Aerial Yoga practice you will develop upper body and core strength, stretch more deeply, improve balance, re-enforce correct body alignment, find decompression and traction for the spine, as well as learn about anti-gravity comfort and its soothing results. The Aerial Yoga hammock can be used as a way to increase stability and take pressure out of joints.

​

You may also be able to enjoy an oscillating inversion practice and all of its benefits to blood flow & blood pressure, as well as its calming effects. 

​

​It is important to listen closely to advice and cautions from the instructor. You will be asked to disclose medical information and sign a release before your first class.  Weight limit in a group class is 250lbs per hammock, but you can practice if you weigh more than 250lbs in private sessions, as there may be a need to modify some moves for comfort and safety in the hammocks - over 350lbs will not be able to put full body-weight in the hammock but can still use it as a supportive prop during the prop assisted class.  If you are pregnant, notify your instructor so the use of the hammock can be tailored to your needs.
