AERIAL CLASSES
Benefits of Aerial for physical health:
• Improved flexibility: allows for wider movements and deeper stretches due to suspension in the air;
• Muscle strengthening: works the muscles intensely, especially those in the core, due to the need for stabilization in the tissue;
• Spinal decompression: relieves pressure on the vertebrae and joints, which can help with problems such as scoliosis and herniated discs;
• Increased balance: practicing in suspension challenges and improves body balance;
• Improved posture: contributes to postural correction by working on body alignment;
• Improved blood circulation: inversions and hanging positions stimulate blood flow.
• Development of body awareness: increases perception of one’s own body and its movements;
• Reduced impact on joints: as it is a suspended practice, it reduces the impact on joints during exercises.
