AERIAL YOGA
Aerial yoga is like regular yoga but in a soft hammock suspended from the ceiling. Doing aerial yoga will give you a whole new experience with traditional yoga poses or adaptations of yoga poses using the hammock for support.
Aerial Yoga takes the gravity out of your practice so you can fly. In each class, the instructor will give you safety rules and help you adjust your silk to the correct height for your body size and skill level. Classes are small (no larger than 7 students) to allow for individual instruction. You will need your yoga mat for class. During an aerial yoga class you will be safely led through simple stretches and basic yoga poses that use the hammocks or silks to deepen your poses. Once you are warmed up, classes will include total body strengthening and deeper stretching. Classes will end with restorative poses to decompress joints and to allow for deep relaxation.
Class Descriptions:
Adult Aerial Classes - These classes are currently offered as series or workshops periodically throughout the year. Check our Workshops page to see if a class is coming up!

Preparing for Class:
Arrive at least 15 minutes before class to ensure you have time to get adjusted for your silk and complete paperwork. Bring your yoga mat as part of this class starts on your mat. You MUST remove all jewelry (rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. to prevent tearing the silk or getting caught in the silks). Wear shirts with sleeves and leggings (men too) to avoid silk burn on skin.

KIDS YOGA
Kids yoga classes are specialized classes focused on teaching kids this ancient practice. Just like adults, kids live in a world filled often over stimulated with information, social pressure, and activity overload. Teaching yoga to kids offers them a way to mindfully handle all that life offers to them in a healthy and relaxing way.
How Yoga Helps Kids:
Studies show that yoga and mindfulness decreases anxiety and increases happiness. Kids yoga keeps kids bodies safe - flexible bodies tend to get injured less. Breath awareness help kids to calm themselves, kid athletes to perform better, and children to become more self aware.
Classes Offered:

PRENATAL YOGA
We are excited to provide prenatal yoga right here in Sugar Land! Prenatal yoga is a great way to stay in shape, stretch achy muscles and relieve stress.
How Yoga Helps in Pregnancy and Beyond:
Not only will prenatal yoga help you stay in shape and stretch, it will give you many benefits beyond your physical body. Yoga will help you relieve stress and anxiety of impending childbirth and parenthood. You will learn to listen to your breath, to breathe deeply, and to center yourself.
Prenatal yoga also helps reduce insomnia, muscle spasms, nausea, and anxiety. Prenatal yoga will help you reduce typical aches and pains of pregnancy such as back pain, tight shoulders and hips. Yoga also increases core and upper body strength helping new moms take care of babies after birth. Having a calmer mom makes baby calm too.

CHAIR YOGA
Chair yoga is currently not being offered. Please check back periodically for when we will begin to offer it again.
Chair yoga is a practice that is supportive and beneficial to individuals who have limited mobility. This class will benefit seniors, those recovering from injuries, yogis with arthritis, or any other mobility issues. In this class we use chairs to sit in (rather than the floor) and to provide yogis with support in standing poses. You’ll connect with your breath, stretch, strengthen, improve range of motion, and reduce stress. Open to all yogis and all levels. This class is limited to 10 people. If you are recovering from injuries, please make sure you have been cleared to exercise.
