A few years ago I took a couple aerial yoga classes. They were amazing - think combining yoga, acrobatics and silks and using a combination of flexibility, strength and balance throughout the hour. I decided I wanted to try it again in Atlanta. I started using
ClassPass a few weeks ago, which allows users to access a network of fitness studios across your area. I was really excited to see aerial yoga as an option on ClassPass so I went to a class today. The studio is about 25 minutes away from my home in the suburbs of Atlanta, it was called
Sky Gym, so a Sunday morning was the perfect time to try it out and make the drive while there was no traffic.
During class, you use a soft, fabric hammock held up by carabineers and do a combination of traditional yoga poses or aerial adaptations of traditional poses using the hammock. Sometimes you are sitting in the hammock, other times you'll just have a foot or leg in it and in other instances you'll be laying cocoon style in the hammocks. My favorite part of the class was the inversions, meaning the times we got to go upside down(!!) in the hammocks and test our strength to hold up our bodies. I really enjoyed the class and felt like I got to really stretch and work on my flexibility, I will definitely go back again!
