NUEVA YORK - (EFE) Antigravity yoga, a new practice that has caused furor in the U.S. which is done from a flying hammock, mixes traditional yoga with techniques such as pilates, acrobactics and dance. It seeks to lower stress, relax the body and correct bad posture.
With antigravity yoga you can defy the laws of gravity and perform an infinite number of suspension movements, as if moving in a trapeze, through the use of a silk hammock hung from the ceiling with the capacity of holding up to 900 kilos in weight.
"It's a global workout that incorporates strength, flexibility, agility, mental concentration, decompression of the spine and back pain relief, in addition of being fun," says its creator, Christopher Harrison, athlete and dancer in Broadway.
ANTI-STRESS SENSATION
According to its followers, by working with inverted postures, the practice of antigravity yoga revitalizes the circulatory system, oxygenates and sends clean blood to zones like the head, which produces an increase in concentration and mental performance.
Those who have started to practice this activity say that, at the end of the session, they feel a sense of total anti-stress, flexibility and lightness, along with a renewed sense of humor.
This practice begins with a warm-up, followed with different postures until total relaxation is achieved, and it activates the muscles of the abdomen, glutes and lower back.
The antigravity yoga trend was born in the United States thanks to Christopher Harrison's idea in 1996 of this hammock for his athletes, who also worked with elastic ropes, trampolines and antigravity boots, "but we soon discovered the benefits of inversion, because the athletes eliminated their visits to chiropractors just by hanging upside down when they had a contracture in the back," says its creator.
Before becoming an authorized training technique it underwent rigourous testing to evaluate its security and effectiveness before obtaining the appropriate certification.
"As long as it is taught by a certified instructor, antigravity yoga can be more secure than traditional yoga, because the hammock pushes you to a correct posture," emphasizes Christopher Harrison.
Although everyone can benefit from this new practice it is not indicated for those suffering from glaucoma, high blood pressure, heart diseases, prosthetic joints or spine surgery, and pregnant women.
