Antigravity what it is and what benefits it has

Aerial gymnastics or antigravity, also called antigravity yoga, acrobatics with fabrics or aerial dance, experienced a boom in the United States a few years ago and now in Spain it can be practiced in more and more wellness centers, both specialized and in chains of gyms that offer this discipline with expert instructors.

WHAT IS ANTIGRAVITY OR AERIAL GYMNASTICS?

Anti-gravity yoga is a physical exercise technique that combines elements of different disciplines, both sports and artistic.

The creator of this discipline, Christopher Harrison, is a dancer and producer of Broadway shows interested in merging dance, acrobatics and yoga to exercise strength and flexibility in a playful way, making usually difficult postures very easy in the air.

Its staging is of great beauty: a kind of elastic band hanging from the ceiling by two points allows all kinds of movements in suspension, defying gravity.

After a session of Antigravity, you have the feeling of having “flown” and enjoy a relaxing body lightness.

ANTI-GRAVITY EXERCISE IS FOR ALL AUDIENCES

Despite its eye-catching, the Antigravity allows you to adopt very easy and relaxed postures in your most basic sessions.

By lowering the hammock almost to ground level, even older people can benefit from its practice. It is also suitable for learning from childhood, and is very beneficial in the development of proprioception skills, coordination …

In addition, they work strength, flexibility, joint mobility and balance, since in the exercises the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks and lower back are activated.

BENEFITS OF AERIAL GYMNASTICS

Its benefits are no less remarkable: by working without the spine receiving any pressure, the alignment and decompression of the vertebrae is encouraged.

  • It improves the flow of blood circulation to the head, which increases the ability to concentrate and intellectual performance.
  • Inverted postures, by decompressing the spine, allow energy to be rebalanced, stimulate the circulatory system and regulate the nervous system.
  • Stretching the muscles of the whole body and the work of the back allow to improve body posture, cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength and increase the flexibility and mobility of the body.
  • The feeling of freedom, when working in suspension, relaxes.
  • The sessions are very fun and the instructor teaches techniques and movements that multiply the possibilities of the body, so that body expressiveness is gained.
