All ages and experience levels are welcome in every class and students are encouraged to work within their own limits. Stay curious but stay safe! What is trapeze yoga? Trapeze Yoga is a flow of postures supported by a fabric swing with handles at three different heights. Some postures are performed entirely in the trapeze while others are performed with one or two feet on the ground, on hands and knees, or lying on the ground. While full inversion is not required to enjoy the benefits of this practice, there are opportunities to do so for those who are curious and comfortable. The trapeze is not high off the ground, so anyone with a fear of heights doesn’t need to worry! What are the benefits of trapeze yoga? Trapeze yoga builds strength and flexibility in the entire body. The nature of the body’s interaction with the trapeze puts special emphasis on traction as well as strengthening of core muscles, arm muscles, and grip strength. Students with stubborn back pain or chronic hip and shoulder issues find therapeutic relief with trapeze yoga. Anyone ready to invert will experience the blissful release of hanging with the head below the heart. Relax into gravity – your spine will thank you!
