Yoga Trapeze class incorporates traditional yoga asana, breathwork, and relaxation but is based around our YogaBody-style yoga trapeze rigs. Practicing on the suspension rigs allow us to build core strength, functional upper body strength, and balance while we explore postures in different relationships to gravity and cultivate mindfulness and relaxation. Learn more about Yoga Trapeze classes.
Benefits of Yoga Trapeze for Children
Suspending upside-down is inherently fun for most children (and adults who are still children at heart). Students are often attracted to the Yoga Trapeze because they want to do “tricks.” But the benefits are many:
- vestibular sensory input
- body awareness
- functional pulling and grip strength
- core strength and awarenes
A yoga practice or exercise routine that integrates The Yoga Trapeze, even if just once or twice per week, includes pushing, pulling, holding, twists, backbends, forward bends, hip opening and so much more. This variety of movement compliments a mat-based yoga practice to create a full-body fitness routine.
All trapeze classes are limited to ages 8 older because students must be able to follow directions for safety on the rigs. See title for specific class age requirements.
