Aerial Yoga 🧘🏻♀️
Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.
- The Bhagavad Gita
Aerial yoga is a hybrid type of yoga developed by Michelle Dortignac in
2006 combining traditional yoga poses, pilates, and dance with the use
of a hammock.
Aerial yoga requires a special kind of hammock, a prop designed to
support up to 300 kilograms on average. The rig typically consists of
support chains, a webbing strap, a silk hammock and carabiners. Two
support chains hang from the ceiling to less than one meter above ground
level, and the hammock is connected at the height set by the user.
The hammock acts like a swing supporting the hips for forward bends and
backbends. Difficult mat-based yoga postures may prove easier to perform
through aerial yoga, while the hammock's movement further contributes to
adding variety to the aerial workout.
