Fly High Yoga

Fly High Yoga is an aerial Yoga style based on Iyengar Yoga founded by Jose Jimenez. It's focus is on precise alignment, and structure yet it also incorporates a lot of fun and flowing elements.
It doesn't require any previous knowledge or practice either in Yoga, aerial or other movement forms although it can be practiced as an add on to regular practice.

Most poses are done by using a belt that is hung from the ceiling in a "U" shaped form that allows for a lot of support, the possibility for fully supported inversions and the exploration of ones bodies different ranges of motion. (Again, it's adaptable and accessible for everyone regardless of mobility, flexibility or strength and you don't need to be able to do the splits!)

In this Fly High Yoga class we will focus on a diverse mix of playfulness, postural alignment and mobility elements. You will find poses on the ground that merely use the belt as a support, to understand postures better and access them more safely, postures in the belt in a right side up position as well as fully supported inversions in the belt. Especially the inversions are are real treat to decompress the spine and let gravity be our asset to generally improve body awareness or even to reprogram limiting habitual patterns.

What effects to expect from this class:
- enhanced body awareness
- decompression of the spine and adjacent structures
- improvements in mobility and flexibility
- optimized blood- and lymphatic flow
- emotional balance
- a deeper level of relaxation
- lifted mood and joyfulness
- gentle strengthening
- a deeper understanding of ones bodies movement, posture and function
- literally a change in perspective
- improvement of mental clarity and creativity

Who can benefit from Fly High Yoga:
- everyone who is curious in exploring themselves and their possibilities and functions in a fun yet safe way
- practitioners of Yoga who want to expand their knowledge about alignment and postures
- athletes of all sorts looking for an effective albeit unusual method for recovery
- freedivers might find the inverted positions on land of particular interest as well as get playful in exploring body alignment without depending on just one breath
- people with a lot of tightness or even subtle pain in their back (note: in case of actual trauma like for example fresh disc herniations, gliding vertebrae or neurological symptoms the practice in a group setting is not ideal or even contraindicated but feel free to reach out to explore if there are safe options for your specific situation
- people who just want to explore something new while doing something great for their body and mind

Depending on the group classes can be adjusted to be either, powerful, dynamic or even a little acrobatic or focused more on relaxation and recovery. The default will typically be in the alignment, relaxation and recovery area but there is always room to play. 🙂

All classes will be fully guided and a mix of theory necessary for safe and efficient practice that is woven into the flow and a sequence starting from the ground, into the belt and eventually leading us back to rest and centering on the ground.
