Aerial Yoga: check!

Ash and I ventured over to Wabash Landing to try out the new yoga studio (Studio Soar)! It was a great adventure. Aerial yoga did not disappoint. The sensation of swinging gently in the air, suspended by elastic fabric while stretching and healing all parts of your body was pretty cool. At first I did feel a little vulnerable getting used to the idea of relying on a sling/hammock to support me. Once I warmed up to the idea, I realized once again that exercise (especially yoga) has a beautiful way of relaxing me and getting me to surrender the stresses of life.

The studio is only a week or so old so they're in the process of trying out a variety of aerial yoga routines each week. That means that we'll probably have a completely different experience next time we go. The one we participated in was more of a recovery, which I thought was great for our first one. It made it easy to learn each pose and it focused on stretching the body more than resistance or muscle building. It was a wonderful way to start the weekend and we're planning to go back very soon.
