Aerial Yoga is a fun form of fitness that uses suspended hammocks to support movement and postures.

The hammocks offer a variety of benefits, including deep tissue massage and relief from joint tension. Inverted poses alleviate pressure on the spine.

A variety of poses are practiced during the workshop. Some of the poses are done on the mat with hammock support. Other poses will be in the air. Inverted positions are also explored.

Led by Stefanie Campbell, aerial yoga is a great way to diversify your workouts and try something new. No aerial yoga or yoga experience is necessary for this workshop — all levels of yoga practice are welcome. Modifications will be provided by Stefanie to meet your individual needs.

To answer three of the most frequently asked questions:

Is aerial yoga safe for everyone? Individuals with vertigo, a compromised immune system, those recovering from illness, and those new to fitness may want to build up to aerial yoga. Aerial yoga may not be suitable during pregnancy. Those with glaucoma must consult with the instructor before class so modifications for inverted poses can be offered. Please consult your physician before adding aerial yoga to your fitness routine.

Is the hammock strong enough to hold me? Our hammocks are certified to hold up to 1000 pounds and are secured to the ceiling using an advanced suspension system created specifically for aerial yoga.

What should I wear to an aerial yoga class? Students should wear clothes that they are most comfortable wearing for yoga practice and accommodate a wide range of movements (leggings, long-sleeve top, etc.). We do recommend moisture-wicking fabrics (not cotton) to help keep you comfortable in the warm environment. Clothing with velcro and/or zippers are prohibited in class. Long-sleeve tops are recommended to help protect and preserve the hammock fabric.
