What are the benefits of aerial yoga? Can aerial yoga help you lose weight?

You must have seen many ways to lose weight in life, but do you know what aerial yoga is? Today, I will share with you the benefits of aerial yoga and whether aerial yoga can help you lose weight.

1. Promote blood circulation

Yoga exercises can speed up the heartbeat and the circulation of oxygen-rich blood, thereby enhancing our blood circulation. Almost all yoga classes can make you sweat, practice deep breathing and speed up your heart rate (promote blood circulation). In addition, yoga can massage and stimulate the excretory organs through twisting and bending postures. Regular yoga practice has a very great detoxifying effect.

2. Improve physical strength and flexibility

Yoga postures are body movements refined through thousands of years of practice experience that strengthen and stretch the connective tissue of the limbs. Whether your body is soft or stiff, weak or strong, yoga can improve your body and mind while improving your physical health.

3. Release stress

Regular yoga practice can calm the body, mind and spirit, promote the function of the immune system, and expel toxins produced in the body due to stress. Many students believe that yoga is the perfect cure after a hard day's work. Yoga can eliminate fatigue and calm the mind. It allows people to maintain a comfortable and peaceful state and fully enjoy life.

4. Shaping

Aerial yoga has a shaping effect. For example, forward neck, O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, etc. can be improved through aerial yoga. Cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis are also caused by incorrect posture. Through practice, every small joint, spine, muscle, ligament and blood vessel can be in a good state.

Most obese people overeat. Through yoga practice, you will have stronger control when facing the temptation of food. However, the effect of losing weight only by using various yoga postures is not very good. Aerobic exercise (running, swimming, cycling, etc.) is needed to achieve good results. Aerial yoga is different from traditional yoga. It is also called anti-gravity yoga. It mainly uses a rope hammock suspended in the air to support the body's balance and weight, and achieves deep stretching through gravity, so that the surface skin, muscles and even the underlying lymph, blood vessels and nerves can be stimulated. Practicing on the basis of the 360-degree instability of the yoga hammock, even if you do a simple action that you usually feel, you need better stability. Instead of using the brain, let the body autonomously use deep muscles to stabilize the body. This exercise effect will make the body healthier and consume more calories, making weight loss easier.

Patients with high blood pressure and low blood pressure should not practice, and those with vertigo should not practice. Pregnant women need to be guided by a coach with prenatal yoga and aerial yoga teaching qualifications. Inversions and abdominal tension are prohibited during menstruation. Inversions should not be performed after meals to prevent food reflux. Patients with ear infections and retinal detachment should not practice inversions.

It is reported that aerial yoga originated in France, and the founder Patricia came to mainland China to conduct the first qualification training in 2013. In fact, there is no threshold for aerial yoga. The seemingly difficult movements are easier to achieve with the help of a hammock, which removes some of the weight.
