Aerial Class Options

Aerial Yoga ClassesTYS™ Aerial Yoga

TYS™ Aerial Yoga has its deep roots in Unnata® Aerial Yoga, Ashtanga and Yin yoga.   TYS™ Aerial Yoga is an intelligent and complex style of Aerial Yoga.  It keeps you moving from one pose to the next, whether it’s on the mat or in the hammock, in a deep and slow flow.  Instead of just linking the breath to the movement, you begin to move like the breath, in a wave of Yin and Yang as it …

  • Repeats the cycle of heating and cooling the body.
  • softens the muscles through compression and decompression.
  • integrates the body together as well as pulling it apart, in a good way.
  • grounds the body then elevates it again physically and energetically.

 

TYS™ Aerial Yoga uses a soft fabric hammock that supports up to a 1000 pounds to suspend practitioners while they do Yoga poses, so don’t worry about your height or size.  Find an appropriate level of class for you, and come to experience the magic of our Aerial classes.

Here are the level of Aerial classes we offer:

  • Level 1 – appropriate for beginners or anyone who enjoys a more gentle pace.
  • Mixed Levels – various options will be offered for each pose making it more accessible for everyone.
  • Level II – this class is not for beginners, even if you have been practicing or teaching Yoga.  Please make sure you are comfortable in the Mixed Level class before trying this class.  This class is loaded with fun, but it is challenging.

TYS™ Gentle Aerialyoga class descriptions

In this delightful and relaxing class, the hammock is hung only one foot from the floor enabling a gentler form of flowing movement that energizes the body, sooth tired muscles and releases tight areas. This class is a great option for those who are new to Aerial, prefer something closer to the ground, or looking for a soulful practice. You will find yourself leaving the class feeling more awaken, and your body, mind and spirit more rejuvenated.

TYS™ Aerial Yoga for Kids

There is a growing body of evidence indicating that physical activity and fitness can benefit both health and academic performance for children. Regular participation in physical activity and higher levels of physical fitness have been linked to improved academic performance and brain functions, such as longer attention span and memory. These brain functions are the foundation for learning. Even a single session of physical activity has been associated with better scores on academic tests, improved concentration, and more efficient transfers of information from short- to long-term memory. While physical activity keeps children healthy, it is also a great way to introduce Yoga to kids in a fun and playful way. Kids naturally love hanging upside down. Hanging out with us can literally turn your kid into a healthier and happier kid.

TYS™ Aerial Yin uses the Aerial Hammock for the traditional practice of Yin Yoga. In this class we will target the fascia, or connectivity tissues, to increase the flow of chi to promote good health, and to enable a wider range of movement to avoid injuries. We will focus less of how the pose should look from the outside, and emphasize more on how the pose should feel on the inside. The result of the deep stretches from this class is the body feeling softer, more subtle, increase in flexibility and a vital flow of energy.
