Aerial yoga uses a suspended fabric hammock to support standing, seated, reclining and inverted shapes. Equipment setup and direct instruction are essential parts of the practice.

Interesting…I had no idea that this style of yoga even existed!
This is one of the best yoga aspects. because I learned this yoga course form arohan yoga school and its a so much relaxtion while doing these yoga poses. I prefer this yoga over mat yoga. You never get bored on this yoga.
