Reminder for practicing aerial yoga
Rule 1 – Safety
1. During classes, listen carefully and follow the instructions of the instructor.
2. Before starting classes, be sure to inform the instructor about contraindications and diseases.
Rule 2 – Clothes
1. Exercise barefoot or in special moccasins so that your feet do not slip on the floor or mat, and also so that there is direct contact with the hammock when performing exercises. (You can wear socks)
2. Before class, remove all neck jewelry, bracelets, long earrings, wide rings, as during the exercise it is possible to get tangled or damage the skin.
3. Dress code: short-sleeved T-shirt (if you wear a top with straps – the hammock fabric can rub the skin), it is better to wear leggings or tight trousers on your legs, perhaps capris below the knees.
Rule 3 – Graduality is the key to success
When working in a hammock, the total physical load on all major muscle groups and joints is 2-3 times higher than the same load on the floor. This is due to the need to constantly balance. In addition, the vestibular apparatus is trained. Therefore:
1. For the first time, be in an inverted position for a short time – no more than 30 seconds. Feel how your body reacts to the upside down position. Increase your stay time gradually.
2. Do not make sudden movements when exiting the poses. Do everything smoothly and measuredly; a gradual and conscious exit from each pose is necessary.
3. When coming out of inverted poses, take a horizontal position for a few seconds, then a vertical one. If necessary, compensate with shavasana or balasana pose on the floor.
4. If dizziness or nausea occurs, perform a special massage: earlobes, wings of the nose, points on the hands.
Rule 4 – Arrive early. Don’t be late
You need time to set up a hammock for yourself. In addition, if you are late for class and have not done a warm-up, then further class may not be safe for your muscles and joints.
Rule 5 – Nutrition
Eat no later than 2 hours before training. After training, it is better to take it no earlier than 40 minutes later.
