Aerial Yoga
I trained with Jost Blomeyer one of the most experienced Aerial yoga teachers in Europe.
Aerial yoga is a blend of Yoga, Pilates and Aerial arts.
Using a loop of fabric rated for taking body weight , this flying fitness class enables you to stretch in a low impact way, builds strength and allows you to feel the joy of flying.
Benefits of Aerial yoga include better circulation, enhanced mood, improved balance, and coordination.
It can also help with back pain.
Classes include stretches, core stability exercises, flips and tricks aswell as relaxation.
