Yoga takes many forms, all with the purpose of uplifting the spirit and bringing inner peace. One of our favourite yoga practices at The Shala, is aerial yoga – a playful and liberating contemporary form of yoga. Aerial yoga takes traditional yoga postures and gives them an exciting twist. We welcome you to our yoga classes near Herne Hill, so you can relax and reinvigorate your mind, body, and soul.
What is Aerial Yoga?
With a low-hanging hammock, aerial yoga reimagines traditional postures and encourages exploration through deep stretches, energising breathing and mindful movement. This unique approach challenges the body whilst also engaging the mind in a dynamic and invigorating way. Aerial yoga allows for a deeper engagement with gravity, leading to enhanced flexibility, increased spinal decompression, and an intensified mind-body connection. With its playful and liberating nature, aerial yoga provides a transformative experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional yoga, inviting practitioners to find joy and freedom in the art of movement and mindfulness.
Aerial yoga remains a popular choice due to the following benefits:
Spinal Decompression: Aerial yoga is known for its spinal decompression. The low-hanging hammock, paired with gravity, supports and takes the pressure off your back, allowing you to stretch out and relax in new ways.
Increased Flexibility: Aerial yoga allows for deeper stretches, facilitating improved flexibility and range of motion.
Core Strengthening: The exciting and innovative postures of aerial yoga allow you to exercise your core strength and stability.
Stress Relief: The meditative and mindful nature of aerial yoga, combined with the sensation of weightlessness, can help reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Improved Balance and Coordination: Aerial yoga challenges balance and coordination, enhancing proprioception and body awareness.
Mood Enhancement: Yoga in general releases ‘happy hormones’ or endorphins. This is especially true in an aerial yoga class, where you can be as creative and playful as you like.
All are welcome to our aerial yoga classes and workshops. Whether you’re energetic or calm, an expert or a beginner, young or elderly, our doors are open to you. For more information on our yoga classes near Herne Hill, visit our aerial yoga page.
