Aerial yoga is the same as on-floor yoga. The only difference is that you use a hammock suspended from the ceiling for support. To complete your beautiful moves, you’ll need an aerial yoga hammock or sling.
The core strength improves when you hold on to the sling with your arms, shoulders, and abdomen engaged. It’s largely related to the fact that the upper body is used. Suspended in the sling or hammock, you feel virtually weightless. The pressure on your lower back and pelvis has been relieved. The body is more relaxed, the joints open more easily, and joint mobility improves significantly with time.
The positions and asanas are comparable to those found in traditional yoga, and the amount of strength you apply will depend on your specific demands. Many older women are unreasonably afraid of aerial yoga because not everyone participates in inversions, making it particularly user-friendly for newcomers.
