What is Aerial Yoga?
Aerial Yoga is a fun and transformative new way to practice traditional yoga.
Using a soft, fabric aerial hammock suspended from the ceiling, you’ll explore new and traditional yoga asanas (yogic postures) with your body weight partially or fully supported. This allows you to expand flexibility, increase range of motion, build strength, lengthen the spine, and relax the nervous system. Never more than a few feet off the ground, you’ll let go into gravity, be held in the hammock, and awaken yogic bliss.
Aerial Yoga is the natural evolution of Hatha Yoga (the physical style of yoga most common in the West). Master yoga teacher BKS Iyengar popularized the use of props to facilitate proper body alignment in asanas; and for decades, Iyengar-trained instructors have used “rope walls,†to help students deepen yoga poses and safely invert.
Since 2006, Michelle Dortignac, founder of Unnata® Aerial Yoga, has pioneered the use of the aerial hammock as a prop to explore and advance traditional asana practice. Unnata Yoga is rooted in yogic principles, and taught by rigorously trained, certified yoga instructors.
