WHAT

Unnata ® Aerial Yoga (unnata, meaning "elevated" in Sanskrit) combines traditional mat yoga with postures suspended in a soft, fabric sling a few feet off the ground. With the help of gravity and the fabric, we play, explore, and create space in our bodies with ease, as intended in traditional asana practice. Without the compression of the joints and spine we can find a vibrant, unencumbered, and balanced expression of each pose.

With the fabric as a learning tool, students often find "Aha!" moments that bring new life and understanding to poses they previously feared. Participants often alternate between sling and mat to facilitate body awareness and stay engergetically grounded. Through Unnata Aerial Yoga the fascia unwind, the mind quiets, core-strength is built, and participants leave feeling whole... a wonderful complement to your mat practice!

Another Yoga Fad?

Yoga principles such as ahimsa (non-harm) and mindfulness are the foundation of Unnata Aerial Yoga. Asanas (postures) are practiced with focus on breath, alignment, and meditation. The sling is no different than strap or block, intended to assist alignment and deepen your awareness.

Intro to Aerial YogaClick title to register for upcoming dates:Sat, Jan 21, 1-3pm, $40Sat , March 17, 1-3pm, $40 Create space in your body and explore poses without compression of the joints and spine. We'll explore a series poses (including supported inversions) on the sling. Participants must have some past yoga experience. Please bring a longsleeve shirt or hoodie to class.Aerial Yoga: Hips & Shoulders WorkshopClick title to registerSat, Feb 4th, 1-3pm, $40No previous Aerial experience required but yoga experience required. The patience required to open hips and shoulders in your mat practice is difficult to cultivate, thus we often 'crank' on these complex joint structures with little to show for it. Enter aerial yoga: Use gravity, the sling, and breath to gently coax open hips and shoulders. Deepen your understanding of the challenges facing your right and left sides and discover what else in the body may be holding them back.Creating a Flexible Spine WorkshopClick title to registerSat, March 24, 1-3pm $40No previous Aerial or yoga experience required. In this workshop we will use aerial yoga to help open tight areas of the torso and unwind the fascia in the back. Looking to find a deeper, freer backbend? Just hoping to ease your low back pain? Wherever you are working from, this workshop will help you create new space and understanding in your torso and experience the surrender, wholeness, and the joy of a free-flowing backbend, whatever your flexibility level. Please bring a longsleeve shirt or hoodie to class. If you have a spinal condition or injury, please consult your physician before registering.

Please trim/file your finger and toenails and avoid eating or drinking acidic liquids an hour prior to class. Please wear deodorant.

Pease do not attend if you have any medical issues that prevent you from inverting (glaucoma, heart condition, etc) or putting pressure on your skin. If you have a spinal injury or medical condition, check with your doctor first. Contact becky_AerialYogaMN.com with any questions.
