Ever dream of flying like Peter Pan? Now you can! Take your yoga practice off the ground and into the air… The class will take turns learning the fundamentals of flying partner yoga with Mittra Om and the amazing aerial yoga on circus silks with Carrie. Partner flying is an outward body and mind expanding practice that utilizes a partner as a base to help the flyer experience gravity defying twists, backbends, and freedom. Safe mounting, dismounting, and how to base with confidence and trust will be explored. Aerial yoga focuses on the beautiful art form of how to move on circus silks. It is a very inward focused practice which becomes a dance between you and the fabric. Basic footlocks, climbing, and fun asanas will be explored. This is a wonderful practice for couples, parents and children, old friends and the making of new friends. Space is limited to 20. Class is appropriate for all levels (except those with heart conditions or those who should not be practicing inversions).
