Let your yoga take flight and swing your way into feeling fit while having fun– outside!
Aerial Yoga Play combines all the benefits of traditional yoga- flexibility, strength and balance – with the unique conditioning of aerial dance and acrobatics for an exhilarating new way of approaching yoga. Sculpt your body in the air, using our special yoga swings, as you tone muscles, find balance, and increase flexibility.
Aerial Yoga Play allows a combination of benefits similar to aerial yoga, pilates, suspended resistance training, acrobatics, and aerial silks all rolled into one for an amazing suspended fitness experience.
OUR YOGA SWINGS:
Our Aerial Yoga Swings are specially made to be supportive, stretchy, and comfortable. They support your body in your yoga practice and increase your ability to enter into challenging poses, like backbends and inversions, with more safety and ease.
Come discover that Aerial Yoga Swings are one of the most effective tools you can use to stretch/suspend the body, open up the spine, and create more space in the neck and lower back which provides a unique advantage in rehabilitating these commonly strained areas.
Aerial Yoga Play is creating one of the most beneficial ways of using gravity to accelerate healing, while building strength, balance, and openness.
Awaken your courageous inner child and come play with us!
