Healthy Living & Fitness: Trapeze Yoga and Aerial Yoga
Trends in yoga are advancing in exciting directions, including trapeze yoga and aerial yoga. Both forms are innovative ways to enhance healthy living & fitness while challenging your body and mind.
Aerial yoga is a relatively new style that originated in New York in 2007. Christopher Harrison, founder of aerial yoga, was director and choreographer for Antigravity, Inc., an acrobatic performance troupe established in 1991. This creative background inspired the development of aerial yoga as we know it today.
Fitness Benefits of Trapeze Yoga
The health and fitness advantages of trapeze yoga are impressive:
Relieves spine compression
Challenges the central nervous system, mental capacity, and proprioception
Increases pulling strength
Improves flexibility through anti-gravity movements
Beginner-friendly
Additionally, aerial yoga is an effective way to lose weight. Working against gravity engages muscles fully, helping you build lean, toned muscles while burning body fat.
Safety Considerations
One potential downside of trapeze yoga is the risk of being upside down. Aerial yoga is a fitness adventure, but safety is key. If you dislike having your head below your heart or feel nauseated by rocking, it may not be the right practice for you.
Teachers in aerial yoga are highly trained and mindful of these challenges. Poses are demonstrated carefully, and your well-being is checked throughout the session to ensure a safe aerial yoga practice.
Try Trapeze Yoga for Yourself
Considering the many positives of this fitness adventure, trapeze yoga is worth trying. It combines healthy living & fitness, mental focus, and full-body strength. You’ll likely fall in love with this unique yoga experience.
