Aerial yoga is safe for most healthy adults when it is taught by a trained teacher, with proper rigging and small groups. At Anand Yoga Centre in Kolathur every class has only four hammocks, every pose is supported, and you stay close to the floor while you build confidence. A few conditions, such as pregnancy, certain eye and heart problems, or recent surgery, mean you should check with us and your doctor first.
Small, supported and close to the floor by design.
Classes are led by Sailaja Anand, a certified, trained yoga instructor, and capped at four students, so she watches every person and adjusts each pose throughout the class.
The hammock holds part of your weight in every pose, and you stay close to the floor while you build confidence.
Before your first class you tell us about any health considerations, so we can adapt or skip anything that is not right for you.
The hammocks are rated to hold many times your body weight, and the rigging is set up properly before you ever step in.
Some conditions make inversions risky, so we adapt or skip them.
If any item in the checklist applies to you, message us before booking so we can plan a safe, mostly upright class or advise waiting.
If inverting is not right for you, you still get a full, satisfying class. You never have to go upside down.
For any ongoing condition, check with your doctor too. We are happy to keep you upright while you confirm.
Your hammock is set to your height before class, so every pose sits correctly for your body.
You come into and out of inversions slowly, and with only four in the room you are watched the whole time.
If anything feels off, you tell Sailaja and you pause together. There is never any pressure to push on.
Inversions raise the pressure in the eyes and head and the load on the heart, which is why these conditions matter. This is general wellbeing information, not medical advice, so please check with your doctor too.
