In your first aerial yoga class the hammock does the heavy lifting, so you spend the hour supported, not balancing. At Anand Yoga Centre in Kolathur you arrive a few minutes early, the hammock is set to your height, and you move from gentle warm-ups to simple supported poses, an optional inversion, and a floating rest. With only four people in the room, Sailaja guides every step.
A typical first class runs about an hour and never rushes you.
Come five to ten minutes early so the hammock can be set to your height and you can tell Sailaja about any health considerations.
You begin with gentle mat warm-ups, then get used to the fabric taking a little of your weight.
You move through simple poses where the hammock holds part of you, staying close to the floor the whole time.
An optional gentle inversion if you feel ready, then a cradled floating savasana to finish.
Avoid heavy meals for about two hours before, since inversions on a full stomach can feel uncomfortable.
Fitted clothing that covers the backs of the knees and underarms, so the fabric does not pinch.
