Unnata Aerial Yoga

February 20, 2010 Health

Having never done Yoga in my life I can say that Unnata Aerial Yoga was at first intimidating and challenging but truly rewarding. It made me realize I’m in great shape.

What is Unnata Aerial Yoga?
A new type of Yoga that combines traditional Yoga with the physical training of an aerial acrobat. Begun in January of 2006, Unnata Aerial Yoga classes use a low-hanging fabric trapeze to support the weight of the body. With the weight of the body supported, students learn how to achieve proper postural alignment through relaxation rather than effort, enhancing a relaxed and peaceful state of mind as well.

Unnata Aerial Yoga supports your traditional Yoga practice in numerous ways:

  • Challenging traditional Yoga postures such as inversions and deep backbends can be achieved without effort and without strain with the use of the Aerial Yoga prop.
  • Deep muscle releases achieved in the air allow students to explore much deeper stretches in their traditional Yoga postures on the floor.
  • Common Yoga-related injuries caused by overstretching the shoulders and compression in the lower back are addressed through exercises that strengthen shoulders without compromising flexibility, and by strengthening core abdominal muscles without compression of the spine.

    We may drink our milk from cartons, but we do our Yoga in the air!
