The benefits of aerial yoga:
A combination of the arts and athletics, aerial yoga offers several physical and psychological benefits:
Improves flexibility, stability, balance, strengthening core and decompression for the joints, mainly spine. Releases tension. Hanging upside down and inverting can decompress the joints, which can compress over time due to gravity and age. It also brings the playfulness out of every one of us. So much fun!!
