When you first hear about aerial yoga, you might imagine the sensational pop star Pink, doing lots of twists and turns holding onto a silk hammock on stage. Yes, that is aerial yoga, but she is a little more advanced than you would be in your first class. Your first class would involve some yoga moves, Pilates, and a little bit of dance all while defying gravity in your hammock. Here is why you need to try aerial yoga.

Deeper Stretches and Strengthens the Core

Being suspended in the air will help you deepen your yoga stretches. The silk hammock is used like a yoga strap, pushing your flexibility to the next level and also strengthening your core like no other exercise. In order to not fall or to move from one movement to the next, your core will always need to be engaged.

Relieves Joint Pressure and Spinal Compression

By using the hammock to take your weight, it can take some weight off your joints and it will help you to get deeper into yoga postures without compression on the spine.

Increases Blood Flow

Hanging upside down is increasing the blood flow to your brain, which is great for brain health and detoxing your body.

Help You Reach Inversion Goals

If you have been practicing yoga for a while you will know that getting into inversions can be quite challenging. With the help of aerial yoga, you will learn better balance and you can practice handstands in the air to give you the ability to do them back on the ground.

Most people are not getting the recommended amount of sleep, whether that is due to stress, children or just staying up too late and scrolling on your phone. When you don’t get enough sleep, this can affect your mental sharpness, mood, productivity and food choices the next day. Melatonin has been the most popular natural sleep aid, but magnesium is also a really good supplement to take before bed.

How does it help?

Magnesium is a mineral that can help control blood glucose, blood pressure regulation, muscle and nerve function, and so much more. It also plays an important role in converting protein into the chemicals that helps you to slow the nervous system down and help you to feel sleepier.

Melatonin is a known supplement to help relax your muscles, so for those who suffer with restless leg syndrome, or you have tightness from your workouts, magnesium is better in helping to alleviate that.

Where can you find it?

You don’t necessarily need to take a supplement as magnesium can be found in a lot of foods in your diet. If you aren’t eating a balanced diet, you might want to have a blood test to check if you are deficient. Magnesium can be found in almonds, spinach, peanut butter, avocado, bananas and lots of dairy products.
