Ground yoga lays a good foundation.
Aerial yoga requires arm strength and abdominal core, because movements and postures are done in the air. Although there is a lanyard as an aid, you need to hold the lanyard tightly at all times. After all, it is at least one meter from the ground, and it is very dangerous to fall down during the action. In particular, some movements that need to improve the body are basically done by arm strength.
The requirement of abdominal core strength is mainly in some handstands and somersaults. If there is no strength in the abdominal core, it is often impossible to turn over in the sling. When you do a handstand, you can't pull yourself up, because when you return, your abdomen has no strength. At this time, if the arm has no strength and no teacher's assistance, it may have to be hung there all the time.
Compared with aerial yoga, the entry threshold of ground yoga will be much lower. After all, it's on the ground, so I won't be so nervous. The flat support, diagonal support and pilates of ground yoga are particularly effective for the training of abdominal core and arm strength. In particular, a very important part of Pilates is to practice the abdominal core. When do you think you can relax and start flying in the air after a Pilates class?
Upgrade strategy of rookie in the air
I didn't have the courage to fly into the sky before. Arm strength is my weakness. I'm afraid I'll fall. In the first class, I basically looked silly and didn't even have the courage to hang a rope. However, I was fascinated by the young ladies flying around me, and I thought they were beautiful and wanted to be like them.
In the second class, I began to slowly hang the rope on the ground. Listening to melodious music and swaying gently between ropes, the feeling of swinging when I was a child came out, and the mentality of playing ball eased the tension and rigidity, and my mood became cheerful. The air teacher was super patient and stood by to help me. With the teacher around, I became braver.
According to the teacher's instructions, grab the rope and tighten the abdominal core. At first you don't succeed, try again. At the beginning, there are often times when it can't be turned over. The teacher will push me over with her arms. Slowly, you don't need the teacher's help. You can grab the rope by yourself and turn it over with the core strength of your abdomen. I am addicted to it after turning it over several times, and I feel that it is very enjoyable to turn it over in the air.
Aerial yoga, with the help of rope, can make us stretch, stretch our legs and do handstands better. It looks easier to finish than on the ground, and the lacing is less painful. In order to accomplish many actions, we need a rope to fix our rope. Although it hurts, it is super comfortable to hold it for a while.
I like doing handstands best. I find it difficult to do it on the ground. I feel much more relaxed when there is a rope hanging in the air. When you stand on your head, calm down, close your eyes and feel the blood flowing backwards in your body. Open your eyes, and you will find another different world, with a wonderful feeling.
I began to be infatuated with the feeling of aerial yoga, enjoying freedom, flying around in the air, tumbling and jumping. Every time I attend class, the teacher will teach me new moves, and I am also very enthusiastic to challenge one move after another. In order to encourage everyone to persist, the teacher will take beautiful photos for us every time. When I saw myself in the photo, I felt so powerful and beautiful.
