What is Anew Life Yoga Acro and Aerial?

Anew Life Yoga offers unique Acro and Aerial classes that combine traditional yoga practices with acrobatics and aerial arts. These classes are designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and balance while fostering creativity and connection among participants.

Understanding Acro Yoga

Acro Yoga merges yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage into a playful and interactive practice. In Acro Yoga, partners work together to perform dynamic poses, which not only build physical strength but also trust and communication. This practice is suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

Key Components of Acro Yoga

• Base: The person who supports and lifts their partner.
• Flyer: The individual being lifted, who must engage their core and find balance.
• Spotter: A supportive role that ensures safety during poses.

Exploring Aerial Yoga

Aerial Yoga utilizes a suspended hammock to allow practitioners to perform traditional yoga poses in mid-air. This unique approach enhances flexibility, core strength, and spatial awareness. It provides an excellent opportunity for practitioners to explore inversions and deep stretches without the fear of falling.

Benefits of Aerial Yoga

• Increased Flexibility: The hammock allows deeper stretches and improved range of motion.
• Core Strength: Engaging the core to stabilize during poses enhances abdominal strength.
• Decompression of the Spine: Inversions relieve pressure and promote spinal health.
