Anti-Gravity Yoga
You sure know about yoga but have you heard about
the latest trend in the gym called Anti-Gravity Yoga?
Otherwise known as aerial yoga, anti-gravity yoga
defies the laws of physics and fuses revolutionary techniques aimed at
relieving compressed joints and aligning the body from head to toe. It is
currently the leading method in the aerial yoga trend developed by Christopher
Harrison, a former gymnast and dancer. Anti-gravity yoga provides a workout
that allows stretching and strengthening without the danger of overstressing
the joints or compressing the vertebrae which usually results from physically
strenuous exercises.
A swath of silky fabric called the hammock plays a
key role in the success and effectiveness of anti-gravity yoga. The hammock
acts as your support system. The hammock allows you to learn to hang, and
invert while suspended in the air. It supports your hips for backbends and
forward bends. While doing variations on the abs crunches, the hammock serves
as your seat. You can loop the hammock around one foot as you stand on the
other for standing exercises and dance-like routines. And if you’re up to a bit
of swaying, you can easily wrap your body around the hammock for support.
Most moves used in anti-gravity yoga are variations
from:
- Pilates
- Calisthenics
- Dance
- Yoga
- Suspension training
With this new exercise trend, you can change your
body shape in no time while achieving strength in a longer, leaner and flexible
body.
