ReFLEX Arts Dance & Yoga Studio invites you to attend an Aerial Yoga workshop designed to explore a wealth of alternative yoga exercises, assisted postures, and safe inversion techniques using the om gym system of yoga hammocks and handle supports.

For the yoga enthusiast looking to expand his or her practice or the yoga teacher seeking new material and ongoing training experiences, this workshop includes discussion, practice, floating exploration, and a review of safety and health issues. After experiencing a full class to establish a foundation of understanding from the student’s viewpoint, we will cover hundreds of exercises and aerial poses, discuss pacing for an aerial class, inversion theory, and more. A certificate of aerial yoga training will be given participants to validate their education in this venue, and for continuing education credits for yoga alliance.

According to the experts at ReFLEX, “Aerial Yoga eliminates compression in the joints while enhancing flexibility, balance, and control. It develops core muscles, hamstring, back and shoulder flexibility and explores safe inversions assisted by gravity to traction the spine and open energy pathways with no impact or stress on the body.”

The workshop will be held at ReFLEX Arts Dance & Yoga Studio, 6260 N. Lockwood Ridge Rd in Sarasota on Sunday, April 3, from 9am-5pm. Cost is $220. Register at 941359-9642 or www.reflexarts.com.
