The origin of aerial yoga

Aerial yoga, also known as anti-gravity yoga, is a new type of yoga. As a kind of yoga, aerial yoga can also bring peace of mind, but unlike traditional yoga, aerial yoga needs a silk hammock hanging on the roof to allow practitioners to complete all the movements.

The inventor of aerial yoga is Christopher Harrison from America, who used to be a world-class gymnast.

During his retreat in India from 65438 to 0996, Harrison was inspired and eventually created aerial yoga. This new type of yoga has become an effective measure for Harrison to continue to recuperate and prolong his artistic life.

Later, aerial yoga was spread and popularized, and became the yoga method chosen by many people.

The biggest feature of aerial yoga is the need to use special equipment, which is the so-called "anti-gravity hammock". It is made of a kind of silk fiber, and its two ends are connected by a chain hanging from the indoor ceiling, which is less than 1 m from the ground. The whole hammock bears more than 900 kilograms.

Because aerial yoga is carried out in weightlessness, the pressure on the spine is zero, so aerial yoga has a good medical effect.

Besides the benefits of traditional yoga, aerial yoga is more interesting and interactive. It is also interesting to do difficult movements such as rotation, flip, handstand and take-off. After the exercise, your body will have a feeling of heat, which can help practitioners dredge meridians, accelerate blood circulation, reduce fat and thin abdomen.

But aerial yoga must be carried out under the guidance of a professional yogi. Although the anti-gravity hammock of aerial yoga is not high, the movements of aerial yoga are all difficult. Once falling, it may cause harm to the body, so it must be practiced under the guidance of a professional yoga teacher.

At the same time, people with high blood pressure, dizziness and osteoporosis should not practice aerial yoga.
