This style has been for me an enthusiastic new yoga concept, which can merge between a traditional discipline and a more modernised practice with the use of firm and strong fabrics. The swing (hammock) is used to support the body during the poses and helps you stretch better against gravity. By practising Wing Yoga you can achieve some unique benefits.
I found Aerial Wing Yoga a very beneficial practice, nice and physically speaking develops an elasticity without too many risks and will definitely help you to safely stretch your muscles and tendons and relieve back pain with antigravity. Decompression techniques are known to help alleviate pain symptoms originating from injury or posture that has resulted in spinal or sciatic nerve compression, disc degeneration, fascial tension, muscular tightness and joint restriction.
Studies from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) show that women who did three 50-minute aerial yoga classes a week for six weeks experienced a change. They lost an average of two and a half pounds, 2 per cent body fat, and about one inch from their waist.
It helps to boost confidence and mood: In addition to the opportunity to learn something new, Wing Yoga makes more advanced yoga poses accessible to beginner yogis with the support of the swing which can boost confidence in the practice and provide a sense of accomplishment. Swinging increases spatial awareness. Swinging helps develop gross motor skills—pumping legs, running, jumping.
Swinging helps develop fine motor skills—grip strength, hand, arm and finger coordination. Swinging develops a child's core muscles and helps with the development of balance. Wing Yoga boosts flexibility, it can heal back pain.
Yes, are you suffering from back issues? Wing Yoga works wonders when it comes to healing spinal issues. Exercises done in Wing yoga put less stress on the back. One of its leading benefits is decompression of the spine. It is sometimes even used for physical rehabilitation.
