Happiness is hanging off silk hammock- Anti Gravity Yoga

Your wings already exist, All you have to do is FLY.
AntiGravity was not only a fun way to unwind, but it was also exactly what I needed to kick my yoga practice up a notch. After one class, I was totally hooked. The deep inversions make for an incredible mind-body workout — and savasana in a cocoon is pure bliss.The hammocks make it easier to hold inverted pose in correct alignment, with less pressure on the neck and back.


 Our fearless teacher Samarth Dave,(Yoga Alliance USA) who teach students through more technical aspects of the practice with extensive knowledge and a calming presence. The exhale yoga school is modified version of various yoga poses using a hammock to enhance and deepen the stretches while also adding an acrobatic element.Through anti -gravity yoga builds flexibility as well as core and upper-body strength.

What fitness Level is required: None, but beginner yogis may start with an easy pose on the hammock.(Full disclosure: I have been practicing yoga for nearly as long, so the deep stretching and acrobatic elements felt very natural to me).

Beyond that, aerial yoga can also build strength. Moves and poses recruit both the arms and legs, plus a constantly engaged core is required to perform most of the balances. “I imagine the strengthening effects are probably pretty incredible.“I can’t think anyone up there couldn’t get stronger.” It’s the best way to get an abs and core strength workout without even noticing how hard you’re working.
Plus, swinging and turning upside down is just plain fun. “You open up space in the body and mind, and the more space, the happier you can be".

But after a stint at a pelvic floor physical therapist and weeks readjusting to motherhood, another version of my post-partum body, and living life, everything needed gentleness… and a BIG break. In an effort to heal myself during this time, I dedicated myself to a yoga practice in a way I never have before. All of my greatest shifts happen when I commit fully, so I opted in for a 21days practice of yoga, allowing my body to heal and my mind to accept whatever my body was able to produce. What happened over these 21 days changed my physical body, and offered me a new sense of grace for all the parts of me, on and off the mat. It is often forgotten that motherhood, like yoga, is a daily practice. There...

Conquering Infertility through YOGA

After losing weight through Yoga ,my next challenge is to conceive , which I was trying more than years. All medical treatments and experiments done on my body but nothing worked. After reproductive trauma , series of three miscarriage and repeated failure of treatments made me emotionally weak.Its absolutely heart breaking, when pregnancy test come negative made me feel empty womb aching heart.As much as I wanted to share my stories or feelings,I kept a lot under my hat.

It helped and made me address the thoughts in my head and really dissect the situation for my own mental health. Getting on the yoga mat helped me stay balanced during the most stressful time. I...
