Description

THIS IS WHERE WE BEGIN YOUR AERIAL YOGA JOURNEY & LEARN TO FLY!


We will get to know ourselves as well as the yoga swing and how to use it safely. Over this week-long module, you will start to build confidence on the swing and of course, enjoy yourself!


Aerial Yoga Week


You will learn new ways how to use the swing so that it provides support through your yoga flow, while also improving flexibility and range of motion. Yoga practice on the swing allows us to rediscover the joy of childlike playfulness, all while calming the mind and strengthening the body.


The bases of this module are:

  • Learning

  • Exploring

  • Having fun and;

  • Being safe


The classes in this week prepare you to safely move into the 'upside down' poses with confidence and strength. This course, 'Aerial Yoga for beginners - Full Module 1' is a complete course in itself, as well as being one of four components that make up Pilu's full Aerial Yoga Course (see bottom of page for further details) that teaches you to fly, all on your very own.


Class Descriptions:


  • Day 1 - Greet Yourself

Here we welcome ourselves to the practice. Becoming still on the yoga mat and focusing on the breath. We will learn different positioning of the swing to get the very best out of each pose.


  • Day 2 - Supta baddha konasana

Another name for this pose is 'the butterfly'. It is wonderful for improving blood circulation and stimulates the heart, as well as benefitting the pelvic region and inner thighs. This lovely stretch helps with any type of mild depression, anxieties and tensions. We will do this pose using the belt and it will be your first upside down pose, backward entry. You can take all the time you need to get familiar with the feeling on the belt and how your body moves with it.


  • Day 3 - Forward Entry

This class we will perform an upside down pose, this time using a forward entry to the belt.


  • Day 4 - Adho Mukha Svanasana Variation

This pose is a variation of the familiar 'downward dog'. We will use the swing to enter this position in various ways as well as preparing the core. The wondrous benefits of this pose include, strengthening the bones, working the back of the legs, strengthening the core and arms, stretching your back and improving your overall posture.


  • Day 5 - Ladder Flow

Here we will create a flow sequence, adding one pose per round. Ladder flows are wonderful for focusing the mind due to the repetition of poses. This both increases flexibility and builds endurance.


  • Day 6 - Flamingo Class

Why is this class named after a pink bird that spends a lot of time standing on one leg? Because we are going to be working one leg at a time! By putting all of our focus on each leg individually, this means that both legs will get our full attention.


If you enjoy your first week of flying with Pilu, then why not continue? By moving on to 'Module 2 - Building Confidence', you will be closer to being able to spread your yoga wings and fly all on your own!
