Aerial Yoga
(60 Min) Aerial Yoga combines traditional yoga postures with an aerial hammock suspended from the ceiling. The hammock resembles a long scarf but is made of high-density fabric which can bear the weight of thousands of pounds.
Aerial Yoga provides benefits of traditional yoga while amplifying benefits for students such as, deeper stretches, inversions and spinal decompression for back pain relief. Aerial Yoga strengthens muscles using gravitational pull which encourages muscles to compensate and work harder.
Aerial Yoga relieves stress in a whole new way, not only because it's very difficult (maybe impossible) to practice Aerial Yoga without laughing.... but the best reward is Savasana and final relaxation in an aerial position.
Enjoy being cradled, supported and suspended in an aerial cocoon-like hammock after a fun and challenging aerial yoga session!
Please Note: Aerial Yoga should not be practiced by students who are pregnant, have had recent surgeries, eye disease/disorders, vertigo, un-medicated high blood pressure, and/or cardiovascular disease. It is highly recommended that you eat a small snack 30-60 minutes prior. We also ask that you not wear fragrance of any kind and avoid wearing sharp jewelry.

Acro-Fitness
Acro-Fitness is a fun and challenging class that mixes flips and "aerial tricks" with an emphasis on improving core and upper body strength as well as flexibility. Its also a great stress reliever because laughter is a MUST!
**This is a very advanced class. Previous Aerial Yoga experience is required.
Myofascial Mobility
In this class, Katy teaches self-massage techniques using cork massage balls to help your body recover from pain and release stress and tension. Mindfulness and breath work are woven throughout the class to strengthen the mind/body connection. Each class ends with a traditional final relaxation. Studies have shown that myofascial mobility and release techniques can significantly improve symptoms of chronic pain.
*Cork balls are available for use and we have them available to purchase if you'd like your own.
Sound Baths
Sound Baths are specialty “pop-up” classes that involve the use of various healing instruments, such as gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, chimes, rain sticks, rattles, drums, bells and tuning forks. The healing sounds create frequencies that work to calm the nervous system and "massage" the water in the cells. Sound classes are some of the most popular classes at Freedom Yoga and students love to boast the numerous health benefits they experience. Our most common feedback is noticeably deeper sleep and a greater overall sense of calm that typically lasts for days. We generally offer 1-2 sound classes per month. Sound therapy is also available in individual and semi-private sessions.
Freedom Yoga Studio Etiquette
Please…
-Arrive 5-15 minutes early to get your props and snag a spot. Please note- Freedom Yoga is a trauma-sensitive studio. To avoid disruptions, we lock the door when class begins. Doors open 15 minutes prior to the start time.
- We ask that students remove their shoes before entering the building. Shoes may be left outside on the shoe rack or brought inside and placed in a cubby. Removing shoes prepares the mind to enter a healing space as well as drastically reduces bacteria and viruses inside our space.
-If you have had fever or any symptoms of illness in the last 24 hours, please do not come to class. It is our goal that the studio be as safe and healthy as possible.
-Do not step or walk on someone else’s mat.
-Please be clean and scent-free. So many people have sensitivities, allergies, and emotional triggers involving perfume, colognes, and fragrance. PLEASE DO NOT WEAR FRAGRANCE TO CLASS.
-Leave your judgement and competition at home. This is all about you and taking care of your mind, body, and spirit. Give yourself permission to laugh, cry, rest, or sit and breathe if you need to. There’s no judgement here.
-Respect other students’ need for a calm and peaceful environment. We hope you make lots of friends here but please use your inside voice when chatting before and after class.
-We prefer that you leave your phone in the car but if you bring it in, please make sure it is on silent, “do not disturb” or airplane mode so that it doesn’t disrupt class.
-Please be courteous of your fellow-yogis and teachers and return mats and props neatly where they belong.
Freedom Yoga kindly asks that students please avoid wearing jewelry, fragrance, lotions and/or oils during any/all aerial classes to avoid damaging the hammock fabric.
Thanks!
