Aerial Yoga for Spinal Health
Enjoy the many benefits of Aerial yoga! Hanging upside down in a yoga hammock decompresses the spinal column by lengthening the space between vertebrae. Aerial yoga can help tone and strengthen your core, release mood-boosting endorphins and increase flexibility and strength.

It is ideal for calming the nervous system, lower back care, and heart and hip openers.
