What is Aerial Yoga

Aerial Yoga is a complete training system that combines the science of yoga, the dynamics of fitness and the art of dance. Integrating the advantages of these three elements, each class becomes a unique and experiential game that creates a sense of wellness and positivity to each practitioner. By using the hammock as a tool we exercise both body and mind, while feeding our creativity and inner strength.  

You will learn to practice with safety, according to the alignment principles that we draw from yoga. 

Μαθήµατα γεµάτα ενέργεια, δύναµη,  ρυθµό, παλµό και ζωή. Μαθήµατα ξεχωριστά µε κινήσεις αβίαστες ήρεµες, σε ροή,  ακολουθώντας το σώµα σε έναν αέναο χορό.
