Aerial/anti-gravity yoga

空中瑜伽/反重力瑜伽

Many yogis struggle with advanced poses like the headstand or handstand. But now, anti-gravity yoga means such challenges are easily overcome. With a silk hammock suspended from the ceiling, this style allows participants to stretch further and hold positions longer.

像頭倒立、手倒立這樣的高難度瑜伽動作令很多練習者做起來很吃力。但是現在，隨著空中瑜伽的出現，這些動作變得小菜一碟。通過懸掛於天花板的絲質吊床，這種瑜伽可以更好地伸展肢體，保持同一姿勢的時間也變得更持久。

Whether flying through the air freely or forming a cocoon to find a state of zen, aerial yoga is fun and energetic. Being suspended helps decompress tight joints, promote blood flow, and relieve pressure.

不論是在空中自由飛翔還是在封閉空間參禪入定，你都能感受到空中瑜伽的趣味和活力。懸掛式的練習有利於舒緩關節壓力，促進血液循環以及減壓。

Invented by Christopher Harrison, an American acrobat and gymnast in 1996, the anti-gravity fitness craze swept the US around 2012 and spread to Europe soon after. US actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who once wrote about practicing anti-gravity yoga on her blog, is one of the many crazy fans.

空中瑜伽由美國雜技演員兼體操運動員裏斯托夫?哈裏森於1996年創立，2012年風靡全美，之後傳入歐洲。美國著名女演員格溫妮絲?帕特洛便是空中瑜伽的忠實愛好者之一，她曾經在博客中講述了自己練習空中瑜伽的經曆。
