The existing form of training dates back to the 90s of the twentieth century. But the history of the emergence of Aero Yoga is more ancient. Man has always sought to overcome the gravitational effect, therefore, various techniques using ropes (corundum) or pillars (mallabhamb) are of great interest to practitioners today.<\/p>\n

Previously, such activities were not understandable and accessible to everyone, and some considered them even risky for life. But at the beginning of the last century, Iyengar and his daughter Gita adapted ropes with bindings on the wall for exercises. Exercise helped to fight obesity, overcome the postpartum period and eliminate back pain. Thanks to this technique, the asanas became easier to perform and were accessible even to those for whom traditional yoga was not suitable for their health. But, it should be noted that the exercises required increased concentration of attention and physical fitness.<\/p>\n

At the end of the twentieth century, director K. Harrison suggested using a special hammock instead of ropes for dance training. The novelty was well received by the dancers and was used in all rehearsals and performances. Based on hammock lessons in the United States, a special fitness program has been developed for everyone. Later, Aero Yoga conquered the whole world.<\/p>\n

This direction of yoga is suitable for everyone, without age restrictions.<\/strong> There are even special exercises for the older age group and for babies. No special knowledge is required, so the exercises are easy for beginners to master.<\/p>\n

A special set of Fly Yoga exercises has been developed for pregnant women.<\/strong> It includes not only physical, but also moral preparation for the upcoming birth. Exercise will help stretch your muscles and normalize blood circulation. Remove puffiness, prevent varicose veins and other diseases associated with pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Reference!<\/strong> The weight and equipment of the body also does not matter: the hammock can withstand up to 180 kg. It relieves stress on the back muscles and relieves soreness.<\/p>\n

Aero yoga includes about 300 types of asanas and exercises. It includes a symbiosis of classical oriental knowledge, fitness, acrobatic and gymnastic elements. This combination helps to achieve good results in a short time.<\/p>\n

The training program is developed by the trainer, taking into account the characteristics of the person, the chosen direction and the desired result. Movements can be performed with support on the floor surface or without touching it.<\/p>\n

Inverted asanas (head below) are of great importance in aero yoga. To do these exercises, you need to practice. You should switch to such asanas only after 2-3 preparatory sessions.<\/p>\n

At its core, aerial yoga in hammocks is a set of exercises aimed at:<\/p>\n

This complex represents classical and modernized asanas, which are performed in special devices – hammocks, reminiscent of the canvases of circus gymnasts. For those who first mastered yoga in hammocks, the simplest exercises are selected, similar to ordinary swinging on a swing.<\/p>\n

For more experienced athletes, more complex exercises are selected that involve stretching and sufficient muscle strength.<\/p>\n

Also hammocks are divided according to the type of fabric from which they are made, length, method of attachment. Simple hammocks are suitable for home use, while more durable fittings are usually purchased for use in the fitness room.<\/p>\n

The bottom of the hammock should be level with the athlete's groin. This height provides the necessary freedom of movement, but does not create unnecessary risk. In different types of hammocks, the height is adjusted in different ways. At home, it can be initially set up for someone who plans to practice on a hammock.<\/p>\n

Yoga in hammocks, the video of which is attached to this article, can include a wide variety of sets of exercises aimed at:<\/p>\n

During the classes, the practitioner is literally in flight. From this, an inspired feeling of lightness arises, the level of stress decreases. “Floating” asanas help the body develop flexibility of muscles and joints, give balance, help to feel the body better, reduce the load on the spine, and tone the muscles. Despite the fact that the practitioner almost does not feel the usual fatigue from physical exertion, the toned muscles improve posture and figure in general.<\/p>\n
