Find your wings in 2010

I got my wings this weekend with a few friends from the office. I’m feeling pretty sore; I can feel it in my back, legs and definitely my arms. On Sunday we took flight and soared into the new decade thanks to Crunch gym’s Antigravity Yoga “Wings” class.

 Have you tried this hybrid of yoga and cirque du soleil? The Antigravity Hammock becomes your wings and it allows you to attempt positions only thought to be done by skilled circus performers. A straddle 5 feet in the air? No… But yes!

 The class started off slow with a warm up for my muscles and a chance to get familiar with the hammock. But soon enough I found myself upside down (head rush!) practicing my inversions and backward flips.

 But the class wasn’t all tricks, as traditional yoga postures are modified to take shape with the hammock. Downward facing dog, warrior one, cobra – all found with the antigravity hammock. While it won’t replace my regular vinyasa, savasana in antigravity yoga took me to a different place. The hammock becomes a cocoon and it cradles you until all tensions are let go.

 For a new experience in 2010 try the Antigravity Yoga “Wings” class at Crunch. Watch a class here.
