More and more people are being drawn daily to Suspension Yoga™, because of its many benefits and how wonderful it makes them feel.  However, currently, there are simply not enough qualified instructors to meet this rapidly rising demand.

Suspension Yoga™ is beneficial for almost any body. First and foremost it is fun, so no matter what the age of your clientele, it will keep them coming back. Secondly, classes focusing on spinal alignment and postural awareness are perfect for children and their developing bones. Thirdly, the therapeutic benefits of low impact joint mobility and spinal decompression can tailor towards classes for the elderly. As a result, practitioners at every level can access the benefits of asanas like handstand, headstand, arm balancing postures, and enhanced back-bends. All of which can otherwise be unattainable and possibly even dangerous. However, it’s also conducive to rehabilitative classes, allowing those who have been injuries to gently and safely reintegrate the benefits of physical activity into their lives.

Instructor-trainees of Suspension Yoga™ will become familiar with the basics of teaching Suspension Yoga™ and learn to instruct from a whole new perspective. Experiencing gravity in a new way can be both liberating and, at times, a little scary. Emphasis places on the integration of proper form, support, stabilization, and safety. It also throughout the duration of each exercise as well as effective spotting techniques for clients of varying abilities. In addition, you will learn how to confidently coach students out of their comfort zone. And then help them into the freedom and elation that exists on the other side keeping them coming back for more.

With the  YogiGym® Suspension Swing, clients at any level or age can learn to use gravity as their greatest tool. By implementing simple and customized strategies, you can teach students to release muscular tension, relieve chronic back pain increase joint mobility, enhance core strength, improve coordination, and slow down the ageing process… All while having a great time! Adding a Suspension Yoga™ Certification to your list of qualifications will enhance your professional recognition for being educated about leading training strategies. When effectively integrated into a full exercise regimen, playful techniques and remarkable results can report to increase client loyalty and training consistency.

How does Suspension Yoga™ Training differ from Aerial or Anti-Gravity Yoga? Suspension Yoga™ is a style of aerial movement that incorporates yoga with gravity-resistance training, spinal therapy, and aerobatics.  Although similarities exist with other aerial movement modalities, there are also significant differences that rest mainly on the equipment used. Anti-Gravity hammocks or “silks” once hung, cannot be readjusted easily during a class. However, the 14 height settings of the YogiGym® Suspension Sling makes it much more customizable equipment. It provides easy adjustments for a wider variety of poses and exercises.  The fabric of the Anti-Gravity hammocks consists of a stretchy poly knit fabric. It can constrict circulation and result in bruising, whereas the breathable parachute material and generous foam cushion support of the YogiGym® offers a much more comfortable inversion experience. In addition, the YogiGym’s handles offer added stability and off-loading capabilities to make it far more versatile, user-friendly and safe.

THE FLYING YOGI®  is the original Suspension™ Yoga instructor training school.  We are accredited with the Federal Gov’t of Canada, Canadian Yoga Alliance, and internationally recognized as a world-class training facility for aerial and Suspension Yoga™ instructors since 2011.
