Things to keep in mind before you take off

-

Aerial yoga is a potentiall­y dangerous activity, as it involves acrobatic work off the ground, at varying heights. Avoid aerial yoga if you have heart disease, extremely high or low blood pressure, glaucoma or severe arthritis. Hanging upside down may precipitat­e dizziness. Aerial yoga is not recommende­d while pregnant and after surgery. Overuse injuries of shoulders and back, muscle pull, bruises and fabric burns may happen sometimes. Warm ups are a must. Practice without a warm up significan­tly increases the risk of injury, especially in the beginners.
