Let’s explore the differences between Aerial Yoga and Aerial Therapy

Aerial Yoga and Aerial Therapy stand out as two unique approaches that utilise aerial hammocks for different purposes.

Although they share a common tool, their focus and outcomes differ significantly. Here, we delve into the distinctions between Aerial Yoga and Aerial Therapy.

 

Aerial Yoga: Mind and Body Wellness

Aerial Yoga integrates traditional yoga principles with aerial hammocks’ dynamic support. This practice focuses on enhancing physical fitness, flexibility, and relaxation by practicing the yoga asanas in the hammock or using it as a support for meditation and sitting postures.

Aerial Yoga provides a comprehensive fitness and relaxation experience, emphasizing physical well-being, stress relief, and personal development.

Moreover, Aerial Yoga increases flexibility and strength and helps the nervous system to relax. Depending on how you like to use the hammock (hip high or low) the use of the hammock can provide different benefits and effects.

The benefits of Aerial Yoga are numerous (we have a full article about it, click here to read all the benefits).

Why Aerial Therapy is different?

We can define it as a healing process via the use of the hammock.
Aerial Therapy, leverages aerial hammocks for therapeutic purposes, targeting both physical and emotional ailments, and examines safe thinking and behaviour patterns.

This approach is particularly beneficial for those seeking to address deeper emotional and physical issues through a therapeutic lens.

In the Aerial therapy sessions, the aerial hammock becomes a reflective tool to recognize and address stress, emotions and physical blocks.

Through neuro-emotional exercises, we become able to understand and discover stress-storage points in our bodies and traumas.

Aerial Therapy teaches us to act, live, and move in harmony with heart coherence for better balance and health.

It is designed to offer a therapeutic experience, helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and light through trauma release.

Conclusion

While Aerial Yoga and Aerial Therapy both utilize the aerial hammock, their goals and applications are distinct.

Aerial Yoga focuses on doing the asanas supported by the hammock to improve strength, stability, mobility, relaxation, and personal growth, providing a holistic approach to physical well-being and mindfulness.

In contrast, Aerial Therapy aims at healing trauma, using the self-healing capacity and knowledge of the body through heart coherence, kinesiology and sense of touch.

The hammock gives us feedback, expands consciousness, and creates a safe caring space to transform thinking and behaviour patterns.

Both practices offer unique benefits, catering to different needs and helping individuals achieve greater wellness and balance in their lives.

Whether you seek the dynamic flow of Aerial Yoga or the profound healing of Aerial Therapy, these disciplines can guide you on your journey to health and well-being.
