Aeroyoga - an invention of instructor Michel Dortignac, has been known in our country for more than five years and is gaining popularity every year. This type of yoga will help you keep fit, have good stretching, relieve stress and find inner harmony.
In this type of yoga, exercises are performed in special elastic hammocks suspended from the ceiling. It is thanks to the hammock that the air yoga has a lot of advantages over conventional exercises.
Firstly, deep muscles and stabilizing muscles are trained better, since in asanas, attention is also paid to maintaining balance on weight.
Secondly, there is a sparing effect on the spine and joints. Inverted postures are performed most safely, without squeezing the vertebrae. In addition, with the help of a hammock, you can fix the position of the body, for example, in a plank with feet resting on the floor. Thus, concentrate on working out the right muscles.
Thirdly, stretching with a hammock is especially effective and also safe.
Fourthly, it is good to perform relaxation poses in hammocks: the fabric envelops all the contours of the body, and swaying has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
Yoga in hammocks is also shown for pregnant women, but of course, under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
It must be remembered that aeroyoga also has contraindications, such as thrombosis, cerebrovascular accident, and some mental illness. This is primarily due to inverted poses. The yoga studio should inform you about this and, if necessary, send you for a consultation with a doctor. In the absence of contraindications, people of any age, as well as overweight people, can practice aero yoga.
It is very important to choose the right place for classes: the instructor must have a certificate for this particular type of yoga, since the teaching methodology is very different from the usual one. The quality of the hammock must meet the standards, cheap hammocks are made from unsuitable low quality fabrics. In the first lesson, the instructor should explain the safety rules, how to choose a hammock for your height and correctly perform the exercises: the position of the back, arms, knees, how to breathe correctly.
After a month or two sessions, you will feel changes in your body associated with the release of clamps in the cervical spine, lower back, with improved joint mobility and muscle elasticity. And air yoga will surely become an integral part of your life.
