Aerial Yoga is also known as AntiGravity Yoga, based on the principles of paragravity, centripetal force, and antigravity
Info Expanded:
AntiGravity Yoga (AntiGravity Yoga) is a new style of yoga, which is different from traditional yoga, in that it is done with the help of a a silk hammock suspended from the roof to allow the practitioner to perform all the movements. But it brings the same mental peace as the usual yoga. The creator of this exercise is the American Christopher Harrison.
Harrison, 50, is a former world-class gymnast who became a professional dancer. He has been performing all over the world for a long time and has suffered many injuries, but has since discovered that healing is inextricably linked to a positive mindset, and that yoga helps to soothe that mindset.
Harrison was inspired to create anti-gravity yoga during a retreat in India in 1996, which has become a "cure" for him to recuperate his body and mind and extend his artistic life. Harrison's collar has been injured for a long time, "the use of hammocks will not hurt the collar," the British "Daily Mail" reported on the 3rd, quoting his words, "in the hammock, the practitioner and the outside world to cut off, focusing on their own body and mind."
Harrison is currently a dance instructor for the Anti-Gravity Aerial Performance Team, which applies innovation to dance. "Our practice room is equipped with a hammock ...... It's not only a helpful prop for aerial initiatives, but it also relieves pressure on the spine from too much time suspended in the air. The union of yoga and hammock is a sure result."
Anti-gravity yoga is practiced with the help of a special apparatus. This apparatus is called "anti-gravity hammock", made of a kind of silk fiber, two ends and indoor ceiling hanging down the chain connected to the ground less than 1 meter. When open, the hammock looks like a swing or a hammock, and when closed, it looks like a pod for the practitioner to meditate. The entire hammock weighs more than 900 kilograms.
Unlike traditional yoga inversions, the upward movement of the anti-gravity class is done in weightlessness. Says Cuatro: "Because there is zero pressure on the spine, anti-gravity yoga has excellent medical benefits." I have more balance than ever before when I'm in handstands or in general, and it's also helped me work those muscles I wouldn't normally use."
