Anti Gravity Yoga
Anti Gravity Yoga requires a special kind of hammock, a prop which tends to support up to 300 kilograms on average. The rig typically consists of support chains, a webbing strap, a silk hammock and carabiners.
Two support chains hang down from the ceiling to less than one meter above ground level, and the hammock is connected at the height set by the user.
The hammock acts like a swing supporting the hips for both forward bends and backbends. Difficult mat-based yoga postures may prove easier to perform through Anti Gravity Yoga, while the hammock's movement further contributes to adding variety to the Anti Gravity Yoga.
Anti Gravity Yoga has not been studied with clinical trials. Anecdotal evidence indicates that by facilitating bending and stretching of the whole body during exercise, muscles and joints will be strengthened and rehabilitated, and the spine decompressed as the body hangs freely.
Yoga in general, and Anti Gravity Yoga in particular is promoted as benefiting emotional, psychological and spiritual health.
