Aerial Yoga Health Considerations
Whenever we exercise the body, the process is one of building up, breaking down, and repairing. The objective is to break down tensions and scars in muscle tissue fibre, while creating more flexibility and elasticity in the joints and muscles. It is also to refresh the systems of the healing body without causing any additional harm. Often, one comes to yoga class in order to bring about healing that can be encouraged by this technique. However, sometimes their body is already in repair mode as they go through a healing crisis and requires monitoring by a health professional.
