Aero-yoga or anti-gravity yoga is a new trend in the world of yoga. Antigravity yoga is a new unique current in yoga, in which the main exercise is transferred to a height of half a meter from the ground level (that is, the usual asanas are performed in the air). All exercises are made in a special hammock, which is a special dense fabric that is suspended from the ceiling. Antigravity yoga combines elements of acrobatics and yoga, while practicing it constantly is as if in a "flight".
To date, anti-gravity yoga is very popular in the US and Europe, most recently this subspecies of yoga reached the post-Soviet space. On the part of atnogravity yoga looks very strange, but many people assure that once you try, this occupation is delaying and it can not be abandoned.
Antigravity yoga has a powerful rejuvenating effect, it rejuvenates not only the body, but also the spirit, and also relieves the body of tension and discomfort in the back, neck, waist, raises the level of hormones, and also stretches muscles, tendons and increases the mobility of the joints. At the same time during the entire session, joy is felt, and after another session a person feels not only pleasant fatigue, he feels how each bone and muscle was worked out.
Yoga in the air helps to reveal the hidden potentialities of the human body. Usually a person gets used to the two positions of his body: horizontal and vertical, but during antigravity yoga classes a person can conquer three-dimensional space. Often during a flight over land and somersaults in the air, ordinary problems lose their importance and become not so insoluble, and the attitude to life changes completely.
Antigravity yoga is a very useful lesson that consists of many disciplines. Yoga in the air was invented recently in America, by Christopher Harris (choreographer and director). It was this man who invented an acrobatic show in which a dense fabric hung from the ceiling was used. This fabric, he called an antigravitational hammock. All this was invented in the early nineties and for a long time was used to stage complex acrobatic shows. In the early 2000s, Christopher noticed that after long flights, he is very tired, but after he hangs in the hammock upside down for a short time, his spine straightens, and with him comes a rush of strength. Very quickly, an enterprising American realized that using an antigravitational hammock you can practice yoga and you can practice meditation there.
In a hammock, a person feels as if he is in a cocoon, and this feeling helps to relax, with all that is superfluous from his head, it helps to forget about everything and the person begins to enjoy the current moment (in this moment there is no place for either the past or the future, only the present time).
In this hammock, it is best to do a meditation called a butterfly. You need to relax, take a few deep breaths and breathe out, imagine that you are in a tight folded cocoon, in this very dense cocoon it is difficult to breathe and as soon as you want to be outside, you need to stretch and imagine how the cocoon bursts, and you start to fly like a beautiful butterfly .
In Buddhism, a meditation called a butterfly is used to pacify egoism and the inner mind. The founder himself strongly recommends ending each session with this meditation.
Traditional yoga is more about performing different asanas. In antigravity yoga, most of the most common asanas are used, but they are all carried to the air. Imagine the asanas that you used to do on the ground, you can now practice in the air, and during their execution a person feels a completely different sensation. Many asanas in the antigravitational hammock are performed much easier than on the ground. Antigravity yoga helps a person learn to balance.
Do not worry that during this yoga class, your hammock will break (it is designed for 400 kg). During aerobic exercise, the human body constantly feels intense physical activity, which means that soon the body will lose excess weight.
During the lessons of this yoga, not only is excess weight lost, but the stock of vital energy that is used very quickly in everyday life is replenished. This kind of yoga has no analogues in the world, as it allows you to quickly replenish the supply of vital energy, a person feels rested and full of energy.
Another plus of aeroioga is its positivity, because the exercises in the hammock can be performed while playing while having fun and most importantly, as a result, you get a beautiful body.
A person who engages in atigravity yoga, is changing and becoming more attractive, stronger, more successful, and also adds a little in growth. People practicing aerobics become happier and healthier.
To date, anti-gravity yoga is practiced in 21 countries around the world, with each year the number of its practitioners is growing. Despite its popularity and usefulness, aeroioga also has its contraindications (pregnancy, eye and heart diseases, operations carried on the spine). If in the list of contraindications there is your illness, do not despond, first try to do ordinary yoga, and then see if your body will be able to endure increased stress.
Yoga practice changes a person's life for the better and this is a proven fact.
