Aerial Silk Yoga Offers Benefits Beyond Traditional Yoga

6/29/2015

0 Comments

 
Aerial Silk Yoga is all the rage these days with celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow touting its anti-gravity benefits.  But here at Meridian Healing Center, we've been a fan of Aerial Silk Yoga for a long time and for good reason.  Aerial Silk Yoga utilizes gravity to assist you in achieving relaxation and postural alignment during your yoga practice.  The silks are essentially a swing (or hammock) that allow you to lie, stretch, hang, or move about freely without putting strain on the muscles.  Students who may not be able to practice inverted poses in a traditional yoga class can easily do inverted poses with the help of the hammock, thus allowing them to reap the benefits of such poses.

Some of the benefits of Aerial Silk Yoga (otherwise known as AntiGravity Yoga, or Swing Yoga) include:

  • Achieving proper alignment through relaxation versus effort
  • The ability to stretch deeply without lower back strain (when the swing is supporting your lower back)
  • Increased blood flow to the brain during inverted movements
  • Increased core strength due to the differing poses and positions that can be achieved in the swing
  • Safely reduce pressure on the spine when inverted
  • The ability to practice advanced inversions or backbends with less risk of spinal or neck injuries
  • Improve balance and strength throughout the entire body
