For aerial yoga, wear fitted clothing that covers the backs of your knees and your underarms, since the hammock fabric can pinch bare skin. Choose a fitted, supportive top because you may be upside down, and full-length leggings rather than shorts. Take off rings, watches, bangles, necklaces and belt buckles so nothing snags the silk. At Anand Yoga Centre in Kolathur we provide the hammocks and mats, so you just bring yourself.
Comfortable, fitted and covering the skin the fabric touches.
Wear clothing that covers the backs of your knees and your underarms, because the hammock fabric can pinch bare skin.
Choose a snug, supportive top that stays put, since you may be upside down at points in the class.
Wear full-length leggings rather than shorts, so your legs are covered where the fabric wraps.
Have only a light meal beforehand, since inversions on a full stomach can feel uncomfortable.
Anything hard or sharp that could catch the silk.
Remove rings, watches, bangles, necklaces and anything else that could snag or tear the silk or catch your skin.
Avoid belt buckles, exposed zips and rough seams, which can pull the fabric. Smooth, soft clothing is best.
Wear light or no perfume, as the small studio is shared and the fabric holds scent.
We give you the hammocks and mats, so there is no equipment to buy or carry. You just bring fitted clothing and yourself.
Your hammock is set to your height before class, so you walk in ready to begin.
A simple wear and avoid list for your first class.
