yoga combines traditional asana (the physical postures
of yoga) and yoga philosophies with the aerial arts. Silk fabrics and/or
ropes are hung from above to aid practitioners in forming shapes. You
can be fully supported by the silks — even lying down entirely, like in
a hammock — or wrap the silks around particular body parts, keeping
other parts on the floor. Hanging fully or suspending individual body
parts is believed to create traction and open your body more gently and
intuitively than when you’re on the floor. The silks and ropes can also
be helpful for balance. While many aerial yoga classes have an
acrobatic element, a growing number of classes and teachers are also
using the aerial silks much more therapeutically.
