✨ Aerial Yoga Workshops

Aerial Yoga is a unique and playful form of yoga that uses a soft hammock to support your body weight, allowing you to explore traditional yoga postures with greater ease, comfort, and freedom. At Hot Lotus, Aerial Yoga is offered as specialist workshops, typically held on Sundays, giving you a dedicated space to relax, reset, and unwind.

🧘 What to Expect

Our 75-minute Aerial Yoga workshops combine gentle, flowing movement with deep relaxation. You’ll spend the first part of the session exploring supported yoga postures using the hammock, followed by a deeply restorative floating savasana to finish. The hammock can fully or partially support your weight, helping you move into postures with less strain and better alignment. This allows you to experience the benefits of yoga through relaxation rather than effort, leaving you feeling light, open, and calm.

💫 Benefits of Aerial Yoga

Aerial Yoga offers a wide range of physical and mental benefits, including improved core strength and upper body strength, increased flexibility, balance, and mobility, enhanced postural alignment and spinal health, and reduced stress and tension through deep relaxation. The support of the hammock allows the body to fully relax during postures, helping to restore and regenerate both body and mind, while also giving you the option to safely explore gentle inversions.

🌿 Floating Savasana Experience

Each workshop finishes with a 30-minute floating savasana, where you’ll be cocooned in the hammock and guided into a deeply restful state. This weightless relaxation experience helps to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and leave you feeling completely reset.

👉 Is This Workshop for You?

Aerial Yoga is ideal if you want a gentle, accessible yoga experience, are looking for deep relaxation and stress relief, want to try something new and playful, or improve flexibility and mobility with support. Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, with no previous yoga or aerial experience required.

⚠️ Contraindications

Aerial Yoga may not be suitable if you are pregnant, have high or low blood pressure, glaucoma, recent surgery or injury, spinal conditions, heart conditions, or are prone to vertigo or dizziness. If you have any medical concerns or injuries, we recommend consulting your GP or healthcare professional before attending and informing your instructor in advance.

What to Wear

We recommend wearing lightweight, fitted clothing that allows you to move comfortably. Long sleeves and leggings are ideal to protect the skin from the hammock fabric. Please avoid applying hand lotion or sunscreen before class, and strong perfumes or heavy make up as these can transfer onto the hammocks.

Remove jewellery where possible, as items such as rings, bracelets, and zips can snag or damage the hammocks.
