A combination of traditional yoga poses, pilates and dance with the use of an aerial hammock, aerial yoga defies gravity and allows you to perform various yoga poses that may be difficult on the ground, but easier in mid-air.
It’s fun, acrobatic and its many physical benefits include increasing flexibility, soothing back problems, building strength, improving balance, aiding digestion and can even improve memory!
Aerial Yoga can also help improve many aspects of everyday life, including increasing confidence & overcoming fears.
Sometimes our inner child gets lost in the demands of adulthood. Aerial Yoga can bring the inner child alive as it lifts yoga off the mat and into the air. It’s definitely not about how it looks, but all about how it feels and can bring out a light, playful energy. Guaranteed to leave you with beaming smiles and a spring in your step!
What better place to try this magical yoga practice than at Limehouse Yoga studio?

The four weeks will be split into anatomical yoga themes and focus on specific muscle groups / areas of the body:
Week 1: ‘Personal Power’
It’s the first week back to say ‘hello!’ to that centre! Let’s get straight to the source, this class will target the centrally located area of the body using the muscles that make up the core. Connected to self-worth and optimism for the New Year.
Week 2: ‘ Arm, Legs & Booty strengthening’
Firing up the glutes and hamstrings with strengthening and stretching exercises. Enhancing & toning the muscles that propel us forwards…a fun and active flow..Feel the burn!
Week 3: ‘ Back relief & inversion therapy’
Be kind to the spine, looking at alignment and safe inversions.
Decompression, detox and expanding into the back space.
Using techniques and progressive variations that strengthen weak, overworked muscles, in turn improving posture & helping ease a painful neck and lower back.
Week 4: ‘unlock hips, open heart’
This week we focus on mobilising places in the body that sometimes get stuck. A rejuvenating flow session that is all about the good ‘feels’!

Your Teacher
Nayomi Webb |
After a life of dance, yoga and movement-based subjects, Nayomi Webb naturally transitioned aerial yoga, having been introduced to it 8 years ago when living and working in the Caribbean.
Nayomi wanted to explore how the traditional yoga postures could be performed in the air and went on to learn her own aerial yoga techniques and style which she now teaches to others.
“Aerial Yoga is, for me, a way to tune in and feel present. When I allow myself to completely trust and let go, the flow of postures and sequenced movement can be extremely therapeutic and meditative.” |
