What is Fly Yoga or AntiGravity Yoga?According to
antigravity.it e Gym’s website, “Fly Yoga is a unique yoga
experience using specialized hammocks that enable your spirit to
reach new limits.”
While in class, one is suspended from silk hammocks while
practicing traditional yoga poses along with Pilates, dance
and strength-conditioning exercises. Think ’s performance
at the Grammy’s or Cirque Du Soleil.
Healthy in World had the opportunity to take a Fly
Yoga class this week and not only was it a workout, but it
was FUN! This class is for all fitness levels, and
incorporates yoga, Pilates, stretching, dance, strength training
and acrobatics. You execute traditional yoga poses like
warrior, but push yourself further into the pose using the
silk hammock. You also can, if you are comfortable, hang
and twirl upside down!
