About the training
Discover what it takes to be an inspiring yoga teacher and get completely equipped to become a professional. You will practice asanas, discover the philosophy of yoga, and learn the teaching methodology. Aerial Yoga or Fly yoga helps you to achieve a total-body workout while being suspended from a hammock that is about two to three feet off the ground. In Aerial yoga, this hammock which is made of fabric acts like a swing, allowing flexibility and easy movement. It is used to change your dynamic relationship with the ground, allowing you to understand your body better.
Aerial yoga or swing yoga as many call it encompasses major health benefits by providing a workout that allows one to stretch and strengthen the body, without overstressing the joints or compressing the vertebrae. It is especially recommended for people suffering from back issues, as the hammock acts as a support system. You can try all the yoga poses suspended in the air and the fun of doing asanas in the air is unmatchable. According to experts, some of the benefits of Aerial yoga are:
- Increases flexibility and focus
- Strengthens muscles and relieves stress
- Engages all muscles thus giving the experience of a wholesome exercise
- Eases tension in the spine and hip joints
- Improves blood circulation and detoxifies the body system
Yin yoga teaches you to relax your body deeply, calm your emotions, and stimulate the vital energy of the meridians (similar to Nadi) and organs while inducing deep and intense stretching. Supports such as cushions, balls, and tiles are used to allow the body to enter deeply into the asanas thus letting the energy flow and remove the emotional blocks that lead to physical blocks. The purpose of Yin yoga is to relax the muscles and stimulate the connective tissue by applying optimal tension for a while whilst maintaining a deep breathing pattern.
