People hang out in silk hammocks for aerial yoga

-

Jennifer Fischer, the owner of the Samana Holistic Center in Pottstown, began offering aerial yoga classes in 2021. During aerial yoga, participan­ts still focus on breathing and fluid movements but all while hanging inside a piece of silk. The hammock allows for support during some very interestin­g poses such as being upside down. Aerial Yoga Instructor Bobby Dietrich said participan­ts must trust that the fabric will keep them suspended. He usually encourages that trust by making the class fun and helping his students to think of aerial yoga as an opportunit­y to play like a kid. Yoga in suspension is a full-body workout. It includes core crunches, upper body strength, and leg support movements. Read the full story at https://bit.ly/3EGtien.
