We’ll begin on our mats with a relaxing Yoga warm-up. We'll stretch deep core muscles which will help to ease us into using the swing. Moving to the swing, we'll work with the swing in a lowered position. Here we'll enjoy restorative stretches, partially in conjunction with the floor. Raising the swing we'll enjoy both assisted stretches and Yoga poses and then.. we'll move gently into the realm of Aerial Yoga.

Everyone will go at their own pace and work at their own comfort level with the swing. Those who want to continue using the swing lower to the floor have that option too.

This strong and supportive swing is great for opening into deeper stretches, allowing gravity to do more of the stretching work for you. You can relax into inversion and experience stress-releasing traction, helping to decompress intervertebral discs, align the spine and enhance posture. Working with the swing will bring more freedom to your body and at the same time increase full-body and core strength.

We'll move into specific Yoga poses, but the possibilities for poses and stretches are limitless. You'll be able to flow with the poses and explore creative movement and you'll be surprised at how much more open and flexible you feel at the end of the workshop. We'll end with final relaxation. Come and have fun!

Thanks for the workshop; it was fantastic. - Jennifer T.
