Instead of performing yoga poses on a mat, suspension yoga utilises a silk hammock or sling that is suspended from the ceiling to perform those same movements. The purpose of the hammock is to provide support through your yoga flow, while also improving flexibility and range of motion. The hammock, sling or silk also takes pressure off certain areas of the body like the head and shoulders, allowing you to reach those more challenging poses like headstands with greater ease. Suspension yoga offers several physical and psychological benefits: Improved flexibility, stability, strength and balance. It also promotes a better blood circulation and relieves from neck and back pain. Suspension yoga might look technical, but it’s actually super accessible and very beginner-friendly.
