Aerial Yoga For Women Over 40 at Anand Yoga Centre, Kolathur

Aerial yoga suits women over 40 because the hammock supports your body weight, so it is joint-friendly and needs no strength or flexibility to start. At Anand Yoga Centre in Kolathur you progress gradually in a calm, women-only room, building strength gently while looking after your joints, energy and sense of calm. With only four hammocks per class, Sailaja can modify every pose to your body through your forties, fifties and beyond.

Why it suits women over 40

Gentle on the body, kind to the joints.

Less load on the joints

The hammock carries part of your body weight, so your knees, hips and wrists take far less load than on the mat.

Fully supported

You are held throughout, which means you can open and stretch without straining or balancing on your own.

No need to be flexible

You do not need any flexibility or strength to begin. The hammock meets you exactly where you are.

Builds strength gently

Over time, supported movement builds strength and steadiness in a calm, gradual way that suits midlife.

What to expect

Calm, unhurried and made for your body.

Gentle and slow

Classes stay slow and restorative, with breath and support at the centre rather than effort or pace.

A small group

With only four hammocks per class, you get real hands-on attention and never feel lost in a crowd.

Modify freely

Every pose can be softened or adjusted to your body, and Sailaja helps you find what feels right.

An honest note

A few words on safety and good sense.

Check with your doctor

If you have any health condition, please check with your doctor first and tell Sailaja before class.

Inversions stay optional

You never have to go upside down, and you can enjoy a full class staying close to the floor.
