Antigravity yoga can be an effective method of stress management for teens
Yoga makes some enthusiasts so happy that they may feel lighter than air while coming home from a Houston yoga class. For other individuals, this sensation may be true in a more literal sense. According to an article in USA Today, one variation on the holistic Eastern regimen involves suspending participants from the ceiling in silk hammocks that allow them to optimize the strengthening and flexibility-enhancing qualities of the program.
Known as "antigravity" yoga, the classes are suitable for those who are adventurous. Broadway aerial choreographer Christopher Harrison, who was once a world-class gymnastics specialist, designed the program as a way to challenge yoga enthusiasts.
"It's almost this thing that happens when you're inside, and it lets you close out the rest of the world and be still," Harrison told the news source.
During antigravity yoga classes, students are lifted into hammocks that act as swings or trapezes. These sturdy silk contraptions can hold up to 2,000 pounds and allow participants to hang upside down.
Such a variation on the tranquil art of yoga can be a great method of stress management for teens or, indeed, for people of any age.
