AERIAL YOGA
Mind and body reset
Aerial yoga offers a unique and fun way to practice yoga, incorporating the use of a hammock to enhance strength, flexibility, and balance while providing stress relief.
It combines traditional yoga poses with the added challenge and support of the hammock, allowing for deeper stretches, challenging muscles in a new depth - allowing spinal decompression, and a full-body workout.
