In recent months, the Casa de Campo resort has been incorporating new services that without a doubt contribute to the social improvement of our community. One of the most innovative so far is Aero Yoga, which you may not have even heard of! Well, keep reading this post to find out all the details of this new movement, which is quickly becoming very popular amongst our yogis.
Aero Yoga is a very novel method that combines the traditional Hatha yoga practice with a hammock of very resistant soft cloth suspended a few feet from the floor. This new form of yoga, in addition to being really fun, is extremely therapeutic, since the practice strengthens, physically and mentally rejuvenates (body and soul) and detoxifies both physically and emotionally.
Aero Yoga has come to Casa de Campo as part of the Casa de Campo Spa Services with its new manager Kyra Montague, who has been responsible for enhancing the services the Spa offers. (Click here to find out more info about the Casa de Campo Spa).
OK so before we let you know where you can practice this discipline within our resort, it’s good to know some of the key benefits of Aero Yoga. Below you can find 5 reasons why you should practice Aero Yoga:
1. It is a good anti-stress activity
It is an excellent stress reliever since it helps relax the mind and oxygenate the brain, improving your mood substantially.
2. Helps you improve posture and back problems
Because it allows you to hang freely causing your spine to lengthen, Aero Yoga helps in the rehabilitation of the skeletal system and corrects posture. It also helps in the development of stabilizing muscles, such as the spine, abdomen and sides of the trunk.
3. Increase your strength and flexibility
In addition to decompressing your spine, Aero Yoga increases your flexibility and strength, helping you to have more control over your entire body.
4. It is safe
Although at first sight, it might seem dangerous to do somersaults in a hammock… you have nothing to worry about as the hammocks used in Aero Yoga can carry up to 2,000 pounds.
5. It’s for everyone
Aero Yoga is for everyone! No matter size, age, experience or objective. Just follow your instructor’s advice and get ready to live an experience which will activate all your senses.
[There are some health restrictions for practicing Aero Yoga. These include glaucoma, heart conditions, pregnancy, epilepsy traumatic, brain injury, high blood pressure, neck or spinal injury.]
