INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP ON Abhijna's AERIAL-TRAPEZE YOGA
10.30 AM TO 1:00 pm  ​
upcoming dates 2019:  may 11, oct. 13, nov. 24, dec. 28
dates 2020: feb. 1, mar. 7, apr. 11

Abhijna's Aerial-Trapeze Yoga combines yoga, balance and core work.    We will work on setting strong foundations to learn to FLY and balance, access deeper backbends and particular emphasis on going UPSIDE DOWN. 

Through this practice  we aim to regain the capacity to relate to ourselves with the help with a different tool, seeing the world from a different way.  Learning to feel SUPPORTED by the yoga swing, working on TRUST and FEAR.  This will help us break barriers, feel more free and be in a PLAYFUL and SAFE environment. 

The participants learn FIVE different aspects of the tool:
​
  • INVERSION:  helps ease the whole spine and strengthen the whole body, excellent to create spinal traction thus increasing spinal decompression and preventing recurring issues such as lower back pain and sciatica.
  • BACK BENDING: increases range of motion and flexibility
  • BALANCE: helps tone the nervous system and increase concentration.
  • CORE WORK: Complements very well a typical yoga class and helps strengthen the abdomen, back & arms.
  • And RELAXATION:  it is a beautiful tool to help release stress and reduce tendencies towards migraines, headaches, insomnia, among others.
 
  • WHEN:     SUNDAY NOV. 18, 2019
  • TIME:    9.30 AM TO  12:30  M
  • TUITION :  Rs. 3800 FOR ABHIJNA STUDENTS AND 4500 FOR NON-STUDENTS
  • COURSE INCLUDES:  Tuition, Practice Chart, Manual and  YACEP introduction to Aerial-Trapeze Certification from our Institution.  Herbal Tea.
  • Arrive at 9:15 for registration, come in yoga clothes (no baggy pants or shirts).
  • Make sure you have had an early breakfast as we will be inverting the body and the emptier the stomach the easier and better it will be  for the practice.

​Access postures & movements that without the 
yoga trapeze/swing would be otherwise difficult 
​or sometimes even impossible to approach!

BACK BENDS AND INVERSIONS
​
In other forms of yoga we need the body to be supple and strong for inversions & backbends.

​In this workshop you will learn how to easily access inversions and increase range of motion of your backbends and your whole body. 
LEARN TO PRACTICE SAFELY

Learn basic, intermediate & advance practices that you can easily progress into when practicing with a yoga trapeze.
​
Learn how to prepare and create a progressive approach towards yoga asanas .
WORK ON BALANCE
AND TRUST

​The tool helps you explore different ways of performing classical yoga asanas and helps you develop a sense of trust, confidence and freedom of movement. 

The practice increases stamina, memory & coordination.
DEVELOP YOUR PRACTICE

As you become more attuned with the yoga swing, you be given the tools and time to explore how to move into asanas that might be otherwise difficult or will require intensive preparation when done  on the floor or with out the help of a tool

I have been using this inversion tool for over a decade. 
It has helped me through some of the hardest time of my life. 
It reduced my stress and anxiety, helped me prevent
migraines and over all made me look younger!
