Aerial yoga is a hybrid type of yoga combining traditional yoga poses with the use of an aerial hammock. Also referred to as anti-gravity yoga, aerial yoga shares a lot similarities with traditional yoga. However there is a difference. It is a combination of traditional yoga poses, pilates and dance. When participating in aerial yoga classes, the weight of your body is supported by a hammock - in order to be suspended in the air. It is a great option for beginners and experienced yoga performers. Aerial yoga was developing in the early 2000s. Carmen Curtis began using the aerial hammock as a yoga prop in 2004, then developed the aerial yoga brand, AIReal Yoga in 2009. AIReal Yoga was the first 200 hour aerial yoga teacher training recognized by the Yoga Alliance in the United States in 2014. By facilitating bending and stretching of the whole body during exercise, muscles and joints are strengthened and rehabilitated, and the spine decompressed as the body hangs freely. Aerial yoga is promoted as benefiting emotional, psychological and spiritual health
