Yoga helps in controlling one's mind, body and soul. But aerial yoga? This latest fitness trend has taken yoga to another level by adding a fun quotient to it.
Gorgeous, gravity-defying yoga poses can be easily mastered even if you are not an acrobat but love the concept of being hung upside down by a hammock and doing yoga.
When asked how he got the idea of starting anti-gravity yoga classes, Naveen Sharma, owner and instructor at Ashmayu Yoga, JP Nagar says, "I was a yoga teacher for four years and I realised my students were finding it difficult to move to the next level — like gaining more flexibility or strength — mostly because of their own physical conditions."
"Exercises done on the floor provide more tension to your back and muscles, restraining easy growth. So, I started looking for other activities and came across anti-gravity yoga in Biorythm yoga studio in Pune. It was the perfect solution to my problem."
"Apart from being a serious stressbuster, aerial yoga or anti-gravity yoga is also said to have some major health benefits. It is ideal for people with back issues as it helps strengthen and lengthen your spine," Naveen adds.
Tamanna Sharma says yoga has helped her make a big difference to her lifestyle. "I could keep negativity away and generally be very focussed whenever I took up a task. I practise aerial yoga once a while, just for a change. I feel a lot more self-confident seeing the kind of things I can do when I attend those classes," says the student of Christ University.
In simple terms, aerial yoga is a combination of traditional 'yoga asanas', acrobatics, and dance moves done suspended in the air with the help of a hammock.
Preeti Prabhakaran, a HR professional at DXC Technology, says, "I had been suffering from lower backache. I came across anti-gravity yoga and decided to give it a try. I feel great now," she
says.
However, people who have eye diseases, have recently undergone surgery, have heart issues, bone problems, high or low blood pressure, prosthetic hips, and blockage of the nasal passage or are suffering from arthritis or glaucoma should avoid the exercise.
Experts also suggest that due to its rigorous postures and tumbles and turns, pregnant woman and those who suffer from vertigo must forego this practice. "The cloth used in these hammocks — high-density nylon material is very strong and can take the weight of an adult elephant — so you
absolutely don't have to worry about falling down. It is a good way of making exercising fun," says Avinashi, an instructor at Nivesaa in Indiranagar.
Many classes end with you lying in 'savasana', cocooned in a hammock, as you gently swing from side to side.
