Aerial Yoga + Soundbath

Silk hammocks turn the familiar shapes of a yoga class inside out — the spine lengthens, the ground lets go, and the body remembers how to hang.

The first thing most people notice is the quiet. A hammock takes your weight before you have decided to trust it, and the argument you were having with your own body simply stops mid-sentence.

Hang in our silks in the open shala, two metres of fabric that behave like a swing, a sling and a second pair of hands depending on what the shape asks for. Hanging decompresses the spine in a way no mat pose can, which is why guests who arrive with desk shoulders and long-haul backs are searching for ways to continue back home.

“You are not being asked to hold yourself up. Trust the fabric and playfullness of the Aerial Silk.”

In the practice.

How a class runs
Feel fully supported every step of the way. Unwind with a grounding mat warm-up, build confidence in the hammock, and ease into a graceful flying flow. End in complete serenity, wrapped in a silk cocoon as therapeutic sound waves wash over you.
Who it suits
First-time flyers, stiff spines, and anyone curious about inversions without loading the neck or wrists.
What to bring
Clothing that covers the backs of the knees and armpits, no zips or jewellery, and an empty stomach. Everything else is provided.

Good to know.
