Aerial Yoga
Aerial yoga gets a lot of shit from the yoga community for being gimmicky. It also gets a lot of shit from the aerial arts community for being gimmicky and (typically) unsafe. Honestly, neither of these groups are wrong! Regardless, I had a great time doing this for probably a year. It marks the start of my fitness journey.
I found the studio through Class Pass when I was around 30. I realized that I needed to be doing some sort of fitness but didn't have the heart to just join a regular gym. It turns out my brain really likes being upside down. Some of the hammock poses feel like you're wrapped in a little floating womb. It was really good for me.
I quit going when it got to the point that I felt like I was mostly being challenged from a yoga perspective and not the aerial perspective anymore. I figured if I was going to be challenged from the yoga end that I should be taking straight yoga for cheaper and closer to my house. I didn't want to move up into the advanced tricks-based class because the floors of the studio are concrete and they only use yoga mats for padding. I'm still not sure how they are covered by insurance with a bring your own yoga mat as a crash pad studio policy.
Did I move on to yoga after this? No, I found a studio that offered lyra and had crash mats.
