Anti-gravity yoga is a new type of yoga, which is different from traditional yoga. It uses a silk hammock hanging from the roof to allow practitioners to complete all the movements. However, it can also bring spiritual peace, just like normal yoga. The creator of this sport is American Christopher Harrison.
Harrison is 50 years old. He was a world-class gymnast and later became a professional dancer. He was injured in many places because he performed all over the world for a long time. Later, he found that wound healing can not be separated from a positive attitude, and yoga just helps to ease the mood.
Harrison became enlightened during his retreat in India on 1996 and created his own anti-gravity yoga, which became a "good prescription" for him to recuperate and prolong his artistic life. Harrison's skill has been injured for a long time. "Using a hammock won't hurt his skills," the British Daily Mail quoted him as saying on the 3rd. "In the hammock, the yogi is isolated from the outside world and concentrates on his body and mind."
Harrison is currently the dance coach of the "anti-gravity" air show team and applies innovation to dance. "Our practice room is equipped with a hammock ... it is not only a useful prop for aerial measures, but also relieves the spinal pressure caused by long suspension time. The combination of yoga and hammock is a positive result. "
Anti-gravity yoga requires special equipment. This device is called "anti-gravity hammock", which is made of a kind of silk fiber, and its two ends are connected by a chain hanging from the indoor ceiling, which is less than 1 m from the ground. When the hammock is opened, it looks like a swing or a hanger, and when it is closed, it looks like a pod for practitioners to meditate. The whole hammock bears more than 900 kilograms.
Different from the traditional yoga handstand, the upward movement of anti-gravity course is completed in weightlessness. Cutolo said: "Because the pressure on the spine is zero, anti-gravity yoga has a good medical effect." When I stand upside down or under normal circumstances, I feel more balanced than before, which also helps to exercise those muscles that I don't usually use. "
